Question What fan curve is best for undervolted RTX 4070? (Fans constantly turning on and off every 5-10 mins)

So i recently undervolted my Gigabyte RTX 4070, but now my GPU is basically at the threshold for my fans to activate (57c).
They activate at 57c and stay on till my GPU reaches 51-50c and then turn off, but after 5-10 mins they turn on again because the temp slowly climbs up to 57c...

Is it bad for the fans to constantly ramp up to 60% (1350RPM) from 0%?
 
What is the exact model number and brand of your PSU ? Most of the modern GPUs these days have the FAN STOP 0db technology, meaning the fans won't even SPIN when the temp is below 60C. This is normal.

Though, you can bypass this action by creating a custom Temp/Fan curve/profile using the MSI Afterburner tool. Though, the card randomly fluctuating the fan speed within 10 minutes or so does not seem to be that normal.

Also, try doing a clean re-install of the GPU drivers.

Its a gigabyte RTX 4070 Windforce x3 OC.
Yeah thats the thing tho, it turns on and off quite frequently cause its on the temp threshold every 5-10 min.

I went in afterburner and enabled custom fan curve but let it stay on default settings that MSI chose.
Fans are now spinning a steady 50% when im playing this game and temps are around 45c - 50c :).
i'll just turn it off when im done playing lol.

Yeah well this GPU is like brand new (like a week), and before i installed it i removed all the drivers with DDU, so that shouldn't be an issue.
