Question about amd fan setting (Crimson or cata)

So I have always left the fan setting at auto figuring it will handle the cooling itself but I have always wondered if I set it higher in overdrive (say like 30% vs the stock starting point of 20%) will it still go higher than 30% if needed or once you disable the auto feature then that's it and it's stuck to 30% max and will thermal throttle to save temp? I ask because I have the strix 390 (and have liked it with no issues) but all reviews show it is quieter yet a little hotter than others so thinking I can just raise the base fame speed in 3D and then be on par but I don't want it to not go higher if needed. Make sense?

I know afterburner and gpu tweak allow custom profiles but I don't really wish to use a third party software when the driver itself has the feature I just wish to raise the base (starting) speed a little.

I don't believe you can do this with Crimson or Catalyst. The only fan speed adjustment available in Crimson is to set a target fan speed, which is a constant/fixed fan speed setting. To do what you want to do, you will have to use something like MSI AB and create a custom fan curve.

Interesting so if you set it at a manual % it won't raise if starting to overheat. That just sounds dangerous doesn't it?
