GTX TITAN X Custom Fan Speed - Dangerous?

Hi there,

 

I bought a PC with the reference card of the GTX TITAN X. It is in a small form factor PC, reaches normal temps while gaming. But I can make it cool without worrying about the sound, as I have great headphones. Can I set the fan speed to 80 or 100% while gaming without it damaging the fan/card?

It should be fine. Nvidia usually dosent let you play with anything that would harm the card (cough, cough, +12Mv, cough).

theoretically the high speeds will wear out the fan faster, but i'm sure modern cards are built to take it...

For that difference then the titan X was a good decision. However I would like your titan X to go up against my 1562mhz 980ti on air  :P. But yeah the 980ti makes the most sense in America (and some other countries) because its a nice $350+ difference for minimal non OC performance gains, and then if you hit the lottery you get a titan X or better. 

 

But if I was in your situation where it was that much of a difference I probably would have gone with the titan X too.

I would have loved the 980Ti...

Cheers. I'll be keeping the fans up high while gaming. Anyone also know how to do the same thing with the stock intel cooler? I don't own any fan controllers.
