Should I increase fan speed?

my CPU idle at 35c, my GPU (GTX 1060) idle at around 50-52c and heats up to around 65c when playing games, the GPU fan starts spinning when the temperature is past 55c , is this something to be concerned about?

I have 2 fans, one for intake(8x8cm) and one for exhaust(12x12cm)

My motherboard doesn't have a chassis fan header so I had to resort to using a SATA-to-3 -pin header which connect directly to the PSU, as such I don't have the option to leave it to the BIOS to automatically adjust RPM according to the temperature and have to adjust it manually. (either low or max speed)

I currently have it set to low speed, judging from the temperature, should I turn it up? I\d like to keep it low if possible because the max RPM generates quite a lot of noise.

Ryzen is fine up to 95C. Intel is fine up to 105C. If you're peaking at 65C, you're more than okay.

No need to do anything. Most modern GPUs have 0rpm mode. Which means fans only kick in when you need them. Run some heavier tasks to see whether you need more cooling or not.
