Gpu fan settings

Is it ok to run my GPU fan's %60 all the time ?

as long as your temps are staying below 90c then you are ok. WHat GPU are you using? the automatic settings are probably better to use. My fans dont come on at all unless the temps hit 50c

Well why are you running your fans at 60% all the time? Even at idle? I dont see why you would do that, it probably wont hurt anything but you will attract a lot more dust.

i use asus strix gtx 970 , my fans dont turn on until it hits 60 or smth too but i like to have them around 55-60c while gaming when i manualy use %60 of the fans it doesnt get hotter than 60 but when its automatic it gets around 80c.

Download MSI afterburner and choose the "User defined" fan control option...that should fix it according to ur needs..

GPU's run much hotter than CPU's. you can hit 70s comfortably. Switching the fan on all the time may be more detrimental, as it vibrates the card and kicks up dust.

I use the msi afterburner custom fan curve tool like said above, i hate all stock fan profiles they are optimized for silence not keeping the card cool, and i personally prefer to have the card cool. I let my fans hit 100% if it gets hot enough (it normally doesn't) i never see temps above 60c with the custom fan curve, at stock my gpu will go well over 70c and im not comfortable with that.

Yup. It will work just as well with an asus card as it will with an msi card.
