GPU fan settings

Hello, the thing is that I have a new graphics card, a GTX 1070, and I use the MSI Afterburner to control the fan curve, and I set it up to start the fans at 35°C aprox. It's the first time I have GPU and my question is: Why is it that when I start rendering my project the fans don't start spinning even though if I open the afterburner the temperature shown is above 35, and while the program (MSI) is open the fans are on, but as soon as I close it, they stop, even while the render is still going on. Also, I've notice the CPU fans slow down a little too during the rendering.

I use Vray in 3Ds Max.

Because the Afterburner application controls the fans, not the GPU, and when the app is closed the GPU just goes back to its inbuilt fan curve.

 

I'd say 35 is too low, my GPU only kicks off the fans when it hits 65. (EVGA 1070SC)

idk
