MSI GeForce GTX 970: Setting maximum cooling temperature?

[Niekjes]

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a MSI GTX 970 4G edition. I've got all the little bugs worked out now and everything works just fine.
My only issue is that, while playing FarCry 4 on ultra settings, the card reaches up to 80 degrees celsius. I know this isn't bad for the card itself, but since i'm in quite a small room it might be somewhat easier if I could lower the temperature.
I was wondering if i could set a maximum temperature for the GPU? So it starts cooling earlier, i'm not even sure if this is possible or not...

Geforce GTX 970 MSI 4G edition.
Intel I7 4470k @3.50 Ghz, No overclock
16g RAM
Windows 7 64 bits, home edition.

You can use the MSI Afterburner or the EVGA Precision X softwares to create a fan curve, it's pretty useful and I use it full time. As for the maximum temp, well, it's not that high, and depending on the brand this temperature can be normal. My Gigabyte G1 Gaming is known for it's efficiency at cooling, and still reaches 77-78 in a hot day playing very demanding games.
