Gpu fan curve suggestions

[ItzUknown]

I have a Zotac 2060 super AMP edition (2 fans). I noticed that it got kind of warm (75~) and loud when playing. After changing fan curves and fans of my system I reached to the point that I have vsync on just because the card wont reach high temps and wont be loud. Is there any fan curve that could help me have a quiet ish card and temps under 75 or at least after ours of playing under 80 without vsync, because I've been thinking about getting a 144hz display

 

Thanks in advance!!

What I recommend is set the max temp you'll be comfortable with at 100%, then 10% down for every 5C lower. And maybe set speed to 0 below 40-50C

To get lower temps lower the temperature target with firestorm/afterburner, then set fan profile as needed for noise. gpu performance will take a hit, but it'll achieve your goal

I wont really change it. I just need it to be a little quieter at the 70ish mark. I already mayde my own. Thanks for your answer!!

You can always pull your fans and shroud and put a couple of 120mm on it. I recently tested it and was impressed with the results, especially when comparing noise levels.

I will probably set it from 83 to 77. I am comfortable at that temperature

So set it at like 65% for example and then if the card goes 5c lower I should lower it to 55% until it hits a temperature that I like?

I'll probably do that but I want to see what i can do first with software

Using MSI Afterburner, I have set the fans on my 2070 Super to 35% until 50C/122F and to 70% above that.

 

In that way I enjoy silent Windows operation at 35C/95F idle, while 100% GPU in games runs at around 62C/140-145F. Wearing a headset for gaming so moderate noise is not an issue for me.

Oh, I love this noise levels/heat ratio topic. I've spent like 40+ hours trying to get my GPU to be as silent as possible while still being able to perform well without overheating... 

 

Best solution is to find noise levels and temperature that you are comfortable with like @Darpyface wrote. Build the fan curve around your experiments. Different fans make different types of noise and we experience the noise in different ways. Make sure there is enough air flow to your GPU and make sure that your case fans are supporting the GPU/CPU instead of suffocating it.  

 

I think 75-80°C is really good for RTX 2060 when you're gaming. Sadly they tend to run lot hotter than their GTX cousins. If you're not willing to use aftermarket cooling solution, you're stuck with it. I can't play most games on high/ultra settings 1080p/144FPS without going above 80°C.  It will throttle at 84°C by default.

 

I've undervolted my GPU (temp limit did little to no difference) so that I'm mainly gaming around 77°C 1080p/60FPS in ultra/high settings in the games I play. Only in multiplayer games I'll lower the settings for 144+ FPS.

I was playing Doom Eternal today and even if it is not the hardest to run game I saw only 69 (heyyy) max so that is really good. But i agree with you. The RTX family runs hotter for sure than my 1050 ti g1 gaming I had before. I use vsync for now except on games like CSGO and R6 but Im mostly about my temps since where I live the ambient temperatures have been getting colder!!
