Tips on loud, fast fan speed?

Hi all,

 

I picked up an MSI RX 580 4GB from Ebay just for the sake of pouring through older games I have on Steam that could still benefit from the boost (eventually plan on getting a PS5).

 

I notice for games that are well suited for this card, I still get the very high and loud fan speeds. Even a game from the 2010 (STALKER Clear Sky). Tweaking helped, particularly limiting the FPS to nothing less than needed with the built in GPU utility. 

 

Now I'm picking up XCOM 2 for the first time. I know for instance water effects are a biggy, I limited the frame rate again, still the loud fast fan. 

 

When the GPU is going off like this, it just stays at 3000+ RPM, GPU Temp 70-75 Celsius. 

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks for any help you can give

Custom fan curve then, AMD's official tool (whatever that's called since I find the UI inconvenient) or OC software can let you customize it and slow the fan down according to the temperature. Note that the card will run hotter as a result.

What is generally considered a safe prolonged temp? Let’s say if I’m playing 4+ hours on a weekend?
