Temp & Fan

[sweetheartx]

So ive got the MSI Gtx 970 gaming card and at idle (135 mhz) its around 35 Degrees, now if I put the fans on 35-40% it sits at around 20-25 degrees. So my question is, whats best.. leave it at factory settings and let the card automatically put the fans on at higher temps, or run the fans at 35-40% so it stays around 20-25 in idle and around 35-40 when gaming lightly (csgo etc)

It won't hurt it to be 10 degrees higher at idle, so I would just keep it lower for the quietness.

Alright thanks, although I dont really hear any difference at all when the fans are at 30%

Keep it as it is, those temps are fine

GPUs can with good coolers easily withstand beatings for hours of gaming with 85°C. I´d run this in idle as low as possible. 35°C in idle is fine.

hey i have the same card and i run the GPU fans all of the time just at 25% keeps the temps at 29c and max 63c in bf4 so

Yeah, thats why im thinking "as low as possible" 20 Degrees is pretty fucking low with 40% fan speed, not sure if worth it or not though, if it wears the fans out or whatever.

As is, as in the fans off? until they turn on by themself?
