Radeon R7 370 Series Fan speed

[Yuudai]

Have the Radeon R7 370 Series 4gb video card, and wondering if I should be setting the fan to always be on..I have MSI afterburner and see that I can set it to turn on at a lower temp than it normally would..While watching a stream at about 1080 on youtube, my CPU is sitting on about 40-42C
and the GPU at 40C

It's not really needed until it hits higher temps, but I always have mine on. Low, but on. Once my GPUs hit 50c then I kick the fans up a bit but they otherwise run around 20%. Could get away without having them on. Temps aren't an issue until around 80C.

Set it to always have the fans at a min of 10%,although it would never be low enough of a temp to run that speed..So its running at about 24% speed at 40C while playing hearth,and watching a stream

The only thing I really worry about is when I run dsemu,since its more of a CPU based program..I tend to very over cautious with temps..First build PC..And I would rather it not blow up hehe

If it's a noise issue, you could totally get away without using fans at that temp. Just make sure you keep watching temps to make sure your fan profile is alright.

Being overly cautious isn't a bad thing, that'll end up prolonging lifespan on your components.

Little to no noise at all..I can hear the CPU fan more than anything..I set it I think 5% higher to get the hot air off it faster..And my rear fan higher aswell
