gtx 670 auto fan not working?

[kim8145139]

So when I downloaded msi afterburner i oced my card or gtx 670 by 50mhz IDK why but for some reason it decided to overclock now XD, but in msiafterburner whenever I put my fan on AUTO and exit it out the fan REFUSES to go above 47% while with the program running it ALWAYS goes above 47% idk wuts the problem please help!

the default fan setup in bios isn't that aggressive that's why even when temp goes over 75c fan stays at 47% So you just need to use a custom fan profile in afterburner to keep the fan aggressive and temp down preferably below 80c overclocked or not. Thanks

Is there way to make the auto fan more aggresive?

Head to settings in MSI Afterburner and head to fan once you're there then "Enable user defined software software automatic control". Here you can change the fan speed at different temperatures however you would like.

Yes , Also note I got the 670 aswell, normaly you will see around idle 35c 40c & load 75c-80c Don't panic even if it goes 85c But try to keep the temp below 80 on load . THis works best for me on my 670 heres the picture http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/927/58384021.png Hope this helps

Correct. For the setting to work you need to enable afterburner auto strtup so it will start as soon as your in desktop. If u don't like to see it then select the minimize @ start section form settings. Thanks

75c with fan at 47% on Auto is completely normal. People tend to overrate what they consider overheating and don't realize that the card is engineered to run at a certain target temp. In this case 80c+ is the target. I bet your card was nice and quiet at 75c, which is exactly what the engineers preferred over unnecessarily cool temps.

This is from a review that used a closed PC case (most reviews use an open case, which runs cooler). As you can see, under normal Auto fan operation, a GTX 670 is going to go up to 81c with the fan going as high as 57%. With overclocking or something wrong with the card, that temp of 81c will remain more or less the same, while the fan will adjust higher to maintain that target temp. You can adjust your fan for lower temperatures, but it's unnecessary and will increase your noise levels.

And overlocked, more or less the same temp, but a faster running fan.

If My gpu reached 100 degress 3 times for about a minute and caused my card to throttle would that damage it and keep in mind this is 3 times just a question please reply?

Yeah, that would be bad as the thermal threshold is around 95c.
