Started on AC Shadows, moved in to medium settings to keep the 60 fps. However the heat was troubling me. Did a clean and repositioning of the tower, but it would still go up to 95C, with the GPU memory at peaks of 110C, which doesnt seem healthy.

Ive been tinkeirng along in Adrenaline, mostly with fan manual control (I tried automated/default undervolt, but it didnt seem to do anything noticeable.

What I am struggling with, is finding a balance between cooling and fan noise/levels. If I leave it on default, it feels like the fans dont kick in at all (audible) and allow it to go to 90+110C memory. When I take manual control, it usually has a few seconds at 100% and cools it off massivly and hovers at 51C-75C memory and no higher. Which I guess is a bit too cold compared to the fan noise? I wouldnt mind it being a bit higher if it was quieter.

From going by ear, it seems 1800 RMP seems to be an ideal middleground: audible but not intrusive. However,I have no idea how to make it hover around this. This is the current setup.

Any help is appreciated. Oh and if the whole idea is stupid, don't mind telling me
