Question Is there a way to prevent my GPU from getting above a certain temperature?

Is there a way to prevent my GPU from getting above a certain temperature without having to experiment with a bunch of fan curves?

Name of GPU ?

Case and how many fans.

Name of GPU ?

Case and how many fans.

Rx 6650 Xt
Sama IMO1 Pro
3 case fans, 2 gpu fans

Looks like a clone of a case I have

Rx 6650 Xt
Sama IMO1 Pro
3 case fans, 2 gpu fans

2x 120mm fans on bottom fan blades blowing air towards GPU.

2x 140mm on top fan blowing air out of the case.

1 rear 120mm blowing air out the case.

The case works like a chimney.

I own a similar case your case is a duplicate case like mine gamermax spark.

Fan curve that I normally set.

MSI afterburner.

25 percent 30c 50 percent 45c 75 percent 65c

100 percent 73c

Also remove fan filter from bottom of case for better airflow

Is there a way to prevent my GPU from getting above a certain temperature

When my GPU was getting toasty warm during long video renders, even with all GPU, CPU and case fans running at 100%, I used MSI Afterburner to limit the GPU temperature. Probably not what you're looking for, but it's one solution.

Which 6650XT?

What is that "certain temperature" limit that you want?
And, why do you want to set it?
Graphics cards do run hot, but they are designed to do so.
They attempt to improve performance until they reach their design limit. 80c. might be normal.

With an AMD GPU and the accompanying driver control panel software I was able to lower my GPU temps by simply setting the power saver mode under the tuning section and that drastically lowered the temps even on hot days while gaming.

You can reduce GPU power down from 100% to whatever you like, using MSI Afterburner. It's similar to setting a lower temperature in Afterburner.

If you're unhappy with your GPU "pegged" at 80 degrees Centigrade when running benchmarks or other intensive takes, try MSI Afterburner.

The only reason I used Afterburner in the past (2022) was because Topaz Video AI was unstable and occasionally stopped working when the GPU had been running at a constant 80C for several hours.

A small reduction in the GPU power to 95% made the system stable. Since then, Topaz have fixed the instability problem and I run the GPU at 100% power level.
