Hello Guys! First of all I want to make it known that I'm kind of a noob when it comes to pc components and I am just getting into it! I bought a 290x Lightning gpu and I am monitoring her (I think I should call it a her since it is that beautiful 😛) temperatures! When I am doing things like sending messages on facebook she is around 35-40 °C! When I am watching Youtube videos she is between 40 and sometimes as high as 50°C (all that with the fans being on 30-45% speed)! My case is Phanteks Enthoo Pro Window and the only fans I have (for now) are the 2 pre-installed ones. My psu is a Corsair Rm 750. The only game I played (on 1440p) was witcher 2 and the gpu went to like 75°C really fast! I know that isnt a lot actually but from all the reviews I seen the gpu would go to like 65-70 under heavy load! So it shouldnt hit that temps with a game that doesn't make her sweat right? So after researching on google I saw one or two people mentioning that I should switch the switch (haha) to ln2 and that the ln2 bios is better for the temps! I did and while surfing the internet the card wouldn't go higher the 33°C! I didn't play any game because I wanted to first ask if using ln2 mode is safe! Since I ain't overclocking yet and the only things I found on google about ln2 was from guys that were talking about oveclock I want to ask: Is it ok to use this mode? Without overclocking? Can It harm my gpu? Or is it better if I do? Sorry for the silly questions and for the loooooong post!
tl;dr Is it ok to use ln2 mode on a 290x card without overclocking and just using aircooling?
