Question about GPU Boost 2.0 temp target

[Hans Power]

Hello!

 

Just got my MSI GTX 760 which has an amazing cooler which I wanne take advantage of but not in terms of max performance but for better temps at stock performance. The fans ramp up to 1400 RPM (45%) at the 80° Temp target which is almost inaudible. So I lowered the temp target to 75° and thought the fans would ramp up a bit more but instead it just lowered the clock speeds which is a shame. I'm using MSI Afterburner v3.0 beta 17. I didn't link power limit with temp limit and prioritized the power limit.

So, is it possible to set up a temp limit and let the coolers ramp up or is GPU Boost 2.0 just not designed to do that?

Thanks it advance for any answers

why would you lower the temp target? that only limits your performance
i dont think a 760 can overclock as much as you want it to. there are limits
leave the temp at 80 its probably the best performance you are going to get

No, you don't get it - I just want lower temps at full load with the same clockspeeds (not overclocked any further than the factory overclocks) for longevity reasons. So the fans would just have to run at higher RPMs.

ahhh ok  well when u turn down the temp limit it does a couple of things. lowers or uses stock voltage and stuff to lower the temps it doesnt think to ramp up fan speeds. maybe u can input your own manual fan speeds?

Just adjust your own fan profile to do exactly what you want it to do. Leaving everything else the same and just adust fan profile to exactly what you want.

Okay, just found that. I figured that the temps don't go down as much unless I increase fan speeds significantly which makes them a quite audible (still very quiet by comparison but not silent any more). So I'll leave it at that at the moment. It rarely reaches those 80° anyway - only in burn mark. But it's good to see I can adjust that - maybe I need that during summer to keep clock speeds stable.
