Editing fan curve.

[TheSuspect]

I've got an Evga Gtx 1070 and it's idling at 45 celcius, which I'm not too happy with. It's like this because the fans are off when it's not in use. But I'd like to slightly edit the fan curve so that the fan starts a bit earlier to keep it in the lower 40's since Summer's coming soon. How would I go about editing the curve? I have Msi Afterburner, but I've never edited a fan curve, let alone know how to do it effectively.

Experiment. Get it as fast as you can without it being annoying at idle, then ramp it up at about 65C and 100% at 75C. 

That's how I do my Rad fans and GPUs.

You can edit the fan curves from the MSI Afterburners setting in there go to fans and enable user defined thing. After that you can make your own fan curves.

The issue with the EVGA cards is not the GPU chip being too hot, but the VRM and VRAM being too hot. The GPU temperature sensor only measures the GPU chip, and not the VRM or VRAM. So, the GPU chip could be pretty cool, while the other parts are dangerously hot.

 

If you have an EVGA card, it's important to both install the new BIOS for your particular model: http://forums.evga.com/Update-11816-with-NEW-BIOS-EVGA-GeForce-GTX-108010701060-PWM-Temperature-Upadate-m2573491.aspx

 

And also to order (they're free) and install new thermal pads: http://www.evga.com/thermalmod

 

If you aren't comfortable with installing the thermal pads yourself, then you can RMA your graphics card to EVGA, and they'll send you a card that has thermal pads already installed.

 

EVGA is down-playing the issue, but the number of people who are experiencing worsening artifacting from overheating VRAM is increasing. And for those who aren't experiencing visible issues just yet, if their VRAM has been running at excessively hot levels, then there is significant wear on their GPU, and a reduction in its durability.

yeah, and like i said: all 8 of them we have are all running that hot for 6 years straight, 24/7 for the most part, and none of them have failed or shown any problems...so, your brand new GTX 1070, idling at 45c...probably only a few hours a day...you know

They are all designed like this...my 980ti strix idle at around 49-50c and it's all good as well...EVGA, ASUS MSI...they woudln't do that kind of stuff if it was to arm the hardware in any ways, they are responsible for warranty and customer services and stuff...
