9800 Gtx fan speed

[micky84]

Hi!

I have question about fan speed of my 9800 Gtx.
I recently increased speed of the Gpu from 675 to 780, shader clock from 1688 to 1950 and memory speed from 1100 to 1150 (effective 2305).

I have changed fan speed from auto to direct, and set to 85 %, now i don't now if 85 % is too much.

Thanks from answering!

Fan% means very little in terms of temperatures. Temps are relevant, fan% isnt. See what temperatures you had before the OC and try to match that. Second best is to see what is the "safe" upper limit for g92 gpu and stay below it- no matter what fan speed you need to use to achieve that- be it 5% or 255%.

^Agreed. If the temps are too high get a aftermarket cooler.

Sory. I forgot write down temp.
Before overclocing the temps were:

In windows: 52 in games (after couple hours): max 69

Now the temps are:
In windows: 42 in games (after couple hours): max 61

It's a safe temperature. Don't worry about it.
