[SOLVED] VGA fans and MSI afterburner

[vultusprime]

I have a Gigabyte RTX 2060 OC. By default the fans are passive until the temp reaches 60 degrees (I think).
When I start MSI afterburner it forces the VGA fans to spin. Are these fans designed only to works at a certain time, or is it ok if they are always on?

well, thank you for the reply. But what does it mean? Is it ok that the fans are always on or not?

as long as the temperature didn't rose up high it should be fine, it'll kick in automatically.

maybe it's my fault and did not explain it well enough.
I want to keep those fans running all the time, is it ok if I do that. Will they wear out faster or something?

Well every moving parts will wear overtime, but it's always fine to set the fan at the minimum or at your desired speeds. I used to have 2 gtx 1060 6gb gaming x and they have 0db fan mode, wont turn on until the card is pretty hot (i forgot how C°), so i decided to create a custom gpu fan profile.
