Posted May 13, 2020 So I have two Zotac GTX 970s, and I ran then for like 5 years on quite a light workload without even realising that the fans never kicked in. I then discovered, when folding, that the fan 'curve' set for those Zotac cards is flat, until 90c, but they throttle at 80c. Using MSI Afterburner, I set the fan curve to kick in and ramp up from about 70c. Problem is why folding, they are on constantly.. So my question is, should I care? Or should I just run the fans all the time without any concern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 13, 2020 Personally, I would have the fans set to ramp from 25% at 60c to 100% at 75c. I dont care about noise though, lower temps are more important and make parts last longer. The fans should be fine running all the time, and should be good for a long time even at full speed. Fans are also relatively cheap to replace compared to the GPU itself.
