Adjusting the gpu fan speed concern

[bonet17]

is it safe to adjust the fan speed upto 70%-100% ??
will it reduce the lifespan of the video card?

i adjusted my his 4850 fanspeed from 50% to 70%
51C on idle

51C at idle sounds really high. My HIS IceQ4 Turbo idles around 42C at default settings, which have the fan not even running yet.

^ Depends on your GPU. My 9800GTX idles around 60'C, goes to 75'C on load. My GTX+ idles around 55'C, goes to 70'C on load.
