Recently MSI After burner has been starting my pc with my GPU fans turned off. I keep forgetting to them on before a playing certain games. League and csgo don't seem to make the fans kick on but I do notice stuttering sometimes while playing that reminds me to turn them on. I was curious if this throttling has or would damage the card severely? I've run some test and everything seems OK. Just worried I may have screwed up. Never had this issue before. Gonna uninstall and reinstall afterburn or just get something new! :)

Thermal throttling is the cards way to prevent damage. So you should be fine.

Aldo, a lot of heat over a long period of time can reduce the lifespan of the card.

I shouldn't stalked looked around his profile.. c: @Tasuma make a custom fan curve?

 

I have one! I'm just saying that MSI turns off my fans on boot and I forget to turn it in. But would the throttling that occurs before my dumbass turns it back on hurt the card too badly?

As said before throttling is the cards way of lowering the heat of itself to preserve it's life.
