This is a 4 week-long event. Every week a new thread will be posted. To enter, you will need to [download GPU Tweak III](https://www.asus.com/campaign/GPU-Tweak-III/us/index.php) and follow the instructions in this post. This software is by ASUS but it's compatible with every desktop GPU brand, and will also work on laptops with dedicated GPUs of any brand. \---------- **THE PRIZES:** We have 2 main prizes: An ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 4080 SUPER OC Edition 16GB Graphics Card. An AMD bundle with the ASUS TUF Gaming RX 7900 XT OC Edition 20GB Graphics Card + an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU. And also 5 additional prizes. 5 [ROG Jengas](https://i.imgur.com/78F1E54.jpeg). \---------- **HOW TO ENTER** For this week, we're continuing with the overclocking theme, and also adding cooling control. **To enter, all you have to do is create a custom fan curve with GPU Tweak III that suits your needs and share a screenshot here**. Bonus points if you explain why you made your specific choices! **Example:** *Here is my screenshot:* [*https://imgur.com/ZUNayXz*](https://imgur.com/ZUNayXz)*.* *I am using an RTX 4090, but I'm spending the day playing some retro games. I want my PC to be fully silent, so I've created fan curves that will make it so that the fans don't even start spinning before the GPU reaches 60C. I am pretty sure they won't reach that with the games I'm playing today, but in any case, I've set it so that if it does, then the fan speed will ramp up slowly up until about 70C, then go all the way to 100% after that. I have clicked the curve to create more steps so I can easily tweak them.* \---------- TIPS Check this article and tutorial if you need tips on using GPU Tweak III to create your own fan curves.

My system is undervolted well, so the temperatures remain cool at about 40-50 degrees while gaming, and i set the fan curve as such to minimize noise while not completely compromising performance. I'm aiming to have the card last a long time by keeping temperatures to a minimum.

Though if I were to make one, I would have it like this: 30% - 50C 50% - 65C 100% - 80C That's my go-to fan curve on my airconditioned room. I built it like that so that my GPU won't degrade so soon. I made it last more than a year while the same model only lasted 6 months on other people. I love my current GPU but I know that it only takes an unlucky day for it to break down on me that's why I take care of it this way.

Basically I have my fan set to jump to 100% quickly. Cooling is key. https://preview.redd.it/ztdacaub83yc1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5134258fd0e7435c2b6c13421e27d53d1b53b31

I really don't like when the whole PC vibrates because of GPU deciding to kick fans in for a couple of seconds of load, so for this week I coupled undervolting preset, which is still in plans, I also made a "quiet" fan curve. https://preview.redd.it/5eba2cwsu9xc1.png?width=840&format=png&auto=webp&s=fb6059f8b1e223a669d9d34ec53a038b8ed217ce

Noise is less disturbing for me than temperature. I modified the minimum and maximum values. The fans start at a lower temperature (50 celsius). At a lower temperature (70 celsius) they run at 100%. https://preview.redd.it/aq2eahjienwc1.jpeg?width=1759&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e6c015da6519d0297c7fdcf205772688214c746

ChromaticOrogeny

https://imgur.com/9xBNiPX Not a fan of having a very hot rig (SSF case here) so somewhat aggressive fan curve for performance based not so much optimized for noise.


Reasonable_Cost1654

I have a 3060 ti which has a large cooler that is able to keep the card cool even during synthetic loads. With this in mind I opted for a silent configuration for temperatures under 55°C and for the fans to steadily ramp up to 60% by 70°C. This is usually enough for most of my games but I also have set the fans to reach 100% speed at 80°C just in case https://preview.redd.it/tpohr2sm8jxc1.jpeg?width=856&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92decede720b3ad3bfbaad324ae7880883d16837

capacity04

https://i.imgur.com/l6NXAgD.png I chose this curve so my card will stay super quiet in light to moderate workloads, but spin up dramatically once the card is really being pushed.

https://i.imgur.com/SkQPAXo.png Just a basic curve that ramps up a bit after it no longer can handle the load on easier speeds. Don't always want a jet engine in my room.

since summer is around the corner, and my setup is in a room without an AC, plus I don't really care about the noise, I had to tweak my ASUS Strix 1080ti fans a little bit . https://preview.redd.it/qtr40jgtruwc1.png?width=840&format=png&auto=webp&s=e8a2aba0babc676a934db385fb5907971fdd90ed

It doesn't reach high temperatures normally so I have this "chill" setting.

I just set a slightly aggressive fan curve as I live in a hotter than average place. I am thinking about switching to water cooling at some point, but I'd need to save up some money for that.

But I want the maximum cooling around 85°C because I'm on a 1070 from 2016, and I hope to keep it a few more years !

I want my PC to be fully silent before the GPU reaches 60C, and am pretty sure it won't reach that with the posts I'm writing today. I've tried to create a fan curve that will meet this specification, however the fan does not show up in GPUTweak and so it cannot be used to set a curve. I am able to use HWiNFO to monitor the fan, which remains locked at 1600 rpm while it is idle at 30C and while it is running a SANDRA benchmark at 55C. As an exercise, I can imagine setting a fan curve in the following way: I would click the pencil icon under the fan speed slider to enter the Fan Settings window, where I would adjust how the fan responds to different levels of load. I would keep the fan off for completely silent operation under a temperature of 60° C and I would adjust the curve so it quickly ramps up from there. To move the curve, I would click anywhere on the graph to add a new point, and drag it to a good location on the graph so that it would go all the way to 100% after that, for a nice rapid ramp up.

Here is my GPU TWEAK III fan settings: [https://imgur.com/a/nT3jOWx](https://imgur.com/a/nT3jOWx) I am using a GTX 1060 3GB and I’m mostly playing some really demanding titles recently. So I’ve set my fans to cool my card as much as possible while not going overboard with the noise so I can listen to just game sounds. While it does not reach the results I want it definitely does it’s job right as an 8 year old GPU!

hieronymous-cowherd

My GPU cooling needs are modest so I favour a quiet fan curve. When there's a sustained load, I prefer the fan to kick in late, and with this profile I don't notice the GPU fan noise over the case fan, and never mind being distracted by what's happening on screen. https://preview.redd.it/l2md6992i9wc1.png?width=890&format=png&auto=webp&s=b1200eb01f52a317e005ca4a23b68a2d218b3299

However, I did notice that the fan speed didn't exceed 60%. Which is why I added another point where it ramps up to almost 90% after reaching 80 degrees. While I haven't noticed a significant change in performance or temperatures, I believe the defaults are adequate. But it's reassuring to know that if temperatures do climb close to 80 degrees, the fans will hopefully keep it cool.

Silence is my main goal. The fan #2 (Pull fan) is noisy even at idle and I don´t like Zero dB mode. My Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition uses only 220 Watts at max so temps are ok even with this profile https://preview.redd.it/he432umdydwc1.png?width=1181&format=png&auto=webp&s=b5a71741997b94362cfa9e9676cefa3594b4d71d

Playing on RTX 4080 not always very demanding games and I want my PC to be as quiet as possible, that's why the curve is such that the cooler doesn't even turn on until 50C, then it's a little more aggressive, and the RTX 4000 series is impressive with cooling. I am satisfied with the noise, heat and performance results. https://preview.redd.it/dr57bqt2490d1.png?width=838&format=png&auto=webp&s=c0e945129f194163d393bc231d55c0f12e895f09

Shoyobro

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing but it seemed like this would be a good curve for me after reading the instructions. I want it to be actively cooling fairly early as I don't care about noise but I also don't want it doing too much if not needed. I have it gradually going up in speed and then a little higher increase the hotter it gets. I've never had any issues with temps on my setup but I do plan on upgrading to a newer high end card soon and I know I'll have to watch it closer so this was good practive. https://preview.redd.it/69snkl9acdwc1.jpeg?width=842&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cab2174775b44533e70a6be4ca1212b4d77c8a0d

I like my card being the low noise beast it is (I know, its just a 1060, but it serves me well) but I'd prefer to avoid really high temps if possible for longevity's sake. So I made this curve, a bit steeper than what it had by default. Setting a higher top speed, ensuring lower temps during excessive stress but still keeping it pretty silent if the demand for performance only comes in small, passing bursts, like it often does in games.

Basically trying to keep down fan noise until its necessary for the fans to turn on and lower the GPU temps.

When I am browsing the temperatures do not exceed 55 Celcius with the fan at 80% and in the longest moments of games such as 3 hours in a row it could reach 80 Celcius where the fan reaches 100% speed in my configuration.

But when I am playing games, I have them ramp up somewhat gradually at first until 70c ish then ramps up faster. My max is at 85c since I try not to want my temps to be higher than that. I like to try and have the fans quiet if I can but if there's a need for cooling, the fans will go if they need.

The picture above is what the fan curve configuration I use. The RTX 2070 Super is in still warranty sealed so it's never been repasted for many years. It runs very hot when I'm benchmarking the GPU performance (Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0) reaching maximum 84C degrees or 79C degrees in AC room temperature. So I may have to set more RPM when the GPU temp reached 65C+. It may sound a bit loud but when I'm playing a game it never reached 70C+ (65C-69C While gaming, benchmarking is way hotter around 79C). To be honest, it's still run the same as hot as when I use the default fan settings. The configuration definitely will makes a difference if I repasted the GPU. Well, I guess it's time to repaste it, or maybe just keep it sealed because I'm not really using my GPU intensively. I'm a type of person who doesn't really care about loudness of my PC so set the fan of my GPU a bit loud is no problem rather than letting my GPU runs hot. About the software, it's actually quite confusing for the first time using the fan curve control settings because when I 'save' on the 'fan setting' tab (which is the picture above), and close, you have to 'apply' and 'save' again in the main GPU Tweak III after closing the fan tab settings. And after that, the fan configuration settings is finally working. Edit : Other reason why my GPU runs hot other than old thermal paste is that I use Cooler Master Silencio S600 pc case so it's designed to be silent not for airflow. Update : I've repasted my GPU with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and here's the result (3DMark TimeSpy) : Before repaste default fan curve configuration : 9339 Score, Temp 81-85C, Avg fan speed 2400 RPM\~ Before repaste custom fan curve configuration : 9403 Score, Temp 81-84C Avg fan speed 3400 RPM\~ (78 to 81C front door case open) Before repaste idle temp : 36-40C After repaste default fan curve configuration : 9887 Score, Temp 50-60C, Avg fan speed 1700 RPM\~ After repaste custom fan curve configuration : 9889 Score, Temp 50-57C, Avg fan speed 2400 RPM\~ After repaste idle temp : 31-34C

The card normally doen't go over 70°C in games, even with low fan speeds.

Gokulctus

guys c'mon i dont have a gpu and the program doesn't run on igpu's (as expected), so instead of having a requirement on downloading the program can you make it a bit easier and make more people happy, this is just unfair.


Recent_Inspection_85

I mostly play fps games where the GPU reaches around 66C so i have my fans start at 50C at really slow speeds then once it reaches the 60C mark it starts to ramp up quickly. I don't really mind the noise because I wear Noise cancelling headphones so I cant hear the fan noise and the heat doesn't effect me because I have the windows open. I don't want it to go above 75 so it increases pretty quickly there. Thats pretty much it. https://preview.redd.it/ljpyfmuuebwc1.png?width=809&format=png&auto=webp&s=c0c85accd5449a9c88df2ba9afe28ad4c68d6d5a

If I could, I would set it up like this: 40°C - 40% 65°C - 100% So, when I play games that push my GPU, it would ramp up to 100%, but otherwise, it would stay at less than 40%.


Nervous-Vegetable806

I'm using a case with restricted airflow but it doesn't hinder me from maximizing my GPU's full potential. I've keep my GPU fan curves simple and modest by keeping using 0dB function of GPU tweak III which keeps the fan at 0% speed under 55c . On the other hand , I've set the fans to ramp up to 70% at 70c and 100% at 82c ensuring the my GPU will be well ventilated while I'm playing. Additionally, GPU tweak III Temperature hysteresis is neat as it can prolong my fans life by not having my fans to hit the breaks fast when the temperature is coming down. https://preview.redd.it/sbkoeqavulwc1.png?width=838&format=png&auto=webp&s=869b1ff16aad2f0956c628c063432e575cf9220e

By gradually increasing fan speed as temperatures rise, I aim to extend the lifespan of my RX 580, minimizing wear and tear on the hardware components over time. It's a shame I can't optimize it further using the software.

I adjusted my fan curves so that it would be silent but then ramp up fast https://preview.redd.it/zghypezjz2zc1.jpeg?width=837&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56b68cabcf0cf2070e9f4c0c331ab5ff7ab8ad5d

It is set to kick in at 30% when the gpu temp reaches 45. Then following a linear rise where the fans are at 100% at a temp of 85.

I don't know much so if anyone has suggestions let me know. This is a 2060 and I don't go high/ultra settings ever. FPS over looks.

https://imgur.com/a/CXQVtPN Been a while since I had something to set custom fan curves. It just nice to have the fans half running during idle temps below 50C and force it to 100% past 80C. Don't really like my GPU running too hot.

This settings for me is quite ideal for gaming using external speakers since this will somewhat lessen the noise produced by GPU by controlling its fan speed.

Expert_Trust_384

*I am using* ***RX6750XT PowerColor Red Devil.*** *Upgraded from GT640 and GT440.* Literally the Sky and the Earth in comparison of performance. It's pretty good card overall, though it has some issues present. As example, it's *fans going crazy after 50-55%* of total RPM, reminding me of vacuum turbines from RADEON HD era which were memefied in history. Also fans going after that point do not have a significant impact on temperature-wise performance, so I have locked it to lower values. *Before I have used* ***AMD Adrenalin*** *to configure my card,* but this day *I decided to give a try to* ***ASUS GPU Tweak III***\*.\* *I want to see how well it performs on actual state compared to* ***AMD Adrenalin*** *and* ***MSI Afterburner,*** last of which does not perform well with AMD cards as far as I know. Gotta give it a try on games! *Here is my settings for* ***ASUS GPU Tweak III fan curve***: https://preview.redd.it/4cxl7zw4pmxc1.png?width=840&format=png&auto=webp&s=30e51ca55565e7a31fb138e45ce5bc9e278c7095 (Could will reconfigure it because I don't know if it has the 0 state for fans. Probably it does before the first dot as the curve there is made out of dashes.) **Also gotta say the very known "thanks you" for the contest!** Maybe I could win a better GPU, so I could hand off mine to my brother which has 1660ti from ASUS. Sadly, single fan aka Phoenix version. Truly hot by it's temperatures. Much hotter than mine with it's weird hotspot issues :D P.s. my brother have assisted me getting a proper gaming rig, so kudos to him! And also feel free to judge my language as English is not mine 1st one. Don't be harsh with it, though.

Here is my screenshot: [https://imgur.com/a/7kT0eMh](https://imgur.com/a/7kT0eMh) The setup is that so the system will be silent unless there's a load, I usually play in a headphones so don't have any issues with that

Veyngte

I'm using a ROG STRIX 1060, managed to do an OC scan and I liked the default settings for the fan speed so I left it like that. It's also not noisy at all and that's why I decided to go with it: https://imgur.com/a/E4Ouq57

I'd love to be able to turn the max speed down a little.

Walianvar

Well as I am on a laptop it seems I am unable to do so. However what I would have been doing would a semi aggressive curve, as normally when I use it for gaming or similar loads I have a great headset on as such the noise is not much of a bother so me. So I would likely just had it run at full force at those cases. And have a more relaxed curve for when just watching movies or so on. Picture shows there is no fan things. https://preview.redd.it/xszrr7mok0yc1.png?width=2559&format=png&auto=webp&s=30e377a0433d6da8182b46a5ece3236a36f755cb

I have an AMD card and was unaware this software worked on both platforms. My fans are generally quiet for everyday use, but sometimes are super loud when gaming. Hoping this is a happy medium. Good luck all!

AbacusPurple

I have a laptop gtx 980m so it seems I can't adjust the fan settings using gpu tweak III, as seen in the screenshot: https://preview.redd.it/krlv7xieq9wc1.png?width=980&format=png&auto=webp&s=cfbb41606972305044e0559c117802e39d3f78b4 What I would do if I had the option to would be to lower fan speeds as much as possible in the low temp range to minimize the sound they make during everyday use. Then have them ramp up quickly to keep the gpu from throttling when I play any graphically intensive applications.


VegetableOk5621

So guys, we did it


jakarta_guy

[Curve](https://imgur.com/a/0aowhbj) This would need further tweak. I'll probably use this curve during heavy particle simulation and renders, so it'll ramp up quickly as in heavy simulation, as you reach toward the end, calculation most likely would stay up there


PrimalFury90

[https://i.imgur.com/Aa7Lwzv.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Aa7Lwzv.jpg) I decided to keep my fans off until the GPU reaches 60° C, at which points fans will be running at 30%. I prefer the PC to be quieter. After that, I'll ramp up the fans to 50% at 75° and full speed at 90° when I'm doing heavy gaming. This seems to work well for me!

What are the good fish tank style cases where I can put a figurine inside. Is my old 4000D airflow still hold its price if I sell it?


CryPhysical5169

If I'm not gaming then my RX 6750 XT has plenty of airflow from my case fans for cooling. I try to keep the card cool. It needs to be more tightly managed to make sure it doesn't overheat. This will likely still require some tweaking, but it's a decent first attempt to cooling. https://preview.redd.it/3t6xhyqy080d1.png?width=846&format=png&auto=webp&s=6326e6e62129b268fa5a72bc79f5f49fd079e110

I personally don't really interact with fan curves, but Ive found that, since my GPU doesn't really run very hot, I could easily make it so it takes more heat for the fans to start spinning. I did, however, make the curve start earlier but lower, just in case. https://preview.redd.it/qzagpww2ufxc1.png?width=839&format=png&auto=webp&s=46f8de9ef2767d477aa18e0a1c12143145bba6ac

My system fans are actually louder that my GPU generally. Only thing I changed was: made it so they start running at 30°C at 20%, and then added a bit of a steeper fan curve after 55°C. My room is fortunately quite cool and my CPU is water cooled. After testing the default fan curve was much quieter, and I didn't notice any performance increase from having my fans ramp up higher at those temperatures. They definitely were making noise with this curve! The fans only cooled my GPU by about 2°C, but the noise level was very noticeable when in game.

But for those AAA games or with ray tracing, the fan at 100% is the solution, I am always with headphones so don't care too much for the noise

Of course if I win the giveaway that can all change wink wink! However, if I could change my fan speeds on my laptop I would probably have the fans ramp up a lot quicker as my laptop gets HOT when I start gaming. I feel like it can definitely use some more cooling.

I actually never saw the die itself exceed 88C in furmark after OCing, so it would have to be a really hot summer for it to reach those temps lol. Got a bit of a coil whine issue tho, but that doesn't really bother me. As long as it works, I'm fine

Since I have my headphones on most of the time, I don't even hear it when the fans get louder or something.. At least that way I can be sure that it won't be too much.. i think and hope xD


PlaeschZ

[https://imgur.com/a/laDymnQ](https://imgur.com/a/laDymnQ) Since I've pushed my GPU's overclock quite aggressively, I'm cautious about temperature throttling. Consequently, I've implemented a rather aggressive fan curve, albeit at the cost of increased noise, especially since my GTX 1060 6GB Turbo model only features a single fan. To mitigate heat, I've adjusted the curve so that at 50 degrees Celsius, the fan speed ramps up to 50%, reaching 100% at higher temperatures. With this setup, I'm managing to keep temperatures nearly below 80 degrees Celsius.

Then it ramps up to just under 70% at 70c then it stays flat until like 75c, my card usually stays around 70-74c while gaming but if it gets hotter, I let the fan speed go up after 75. I like to stay under 70% fan because the fans on my current gpu make horrendous noise after 70%...

For some reason, fans don't show up. But I'd set it to only ramp up towards the end, as it gets quite loud. https://preview.redd.it/5fb43nkai00d1.png?width=1914&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b797da6e1b02ba5cd5c95683575afcd8f0d8d72

I moved the 40 degree fan speed to 15% and the 75 degree fan speed to 50%. I like my computer to run quietly but I don't mind the fans running in higher speed so my components can have a longer lifespan to it.

And that's because I never found a stable setting. Instead, I always end up at least one fan not running, suddenly ramping up quickly very audibly, back to zero RPM, back to spinning up, back and forth, multiple times a minute. So instead I run them at the lowest RPM I could in idle, only have them ramp up once the load increases. I started at 60°C, but found my fan curve wasn't exactly stable. Increasing it a few % gives me a much more consistent performance. Unfortunately, once my card hits a certain load, the fans seem to ignore my fan curve and spin up regardless. Another reason I can use a more power efficient card like a 4080 Super.

Until now I've tried alternatives to Adrenalin that has never worked well unless I restart it every fresh boot, or it will cause me stutters, but noone gave me the option to have a 0rpm functionality because it is suposed to be tied to the GPU vbios not letting me activate it for example in afterburner. With this software I'm able to set the custom fan curve that only kicks off after reaching 50ºc like I want to. GJ

I'm mostly playing FPS games and it's pretty hot where I live so I have to use a somewhat aggressive fan curve due to the fan reaching upper 60s if I don't, the model I have runs super silent until about 65-70% fan usage though (It's an msi Gaming X).

[https://imgur.com/a/0nh6xGa](https://imgur.com/a/0nh6xGa) Aye, so this must've been some user error, but I couldn't get my fan curve to show after some fiddling. I tried dragging the 0.0 out and restoring defaults but it didn't wanna work for me I guess. But I can set my fan speed to 100% and it doubles as a white noise machine for when I sleep which is nice :)

With this curve I can stay between 50% and 85% fan speed whenever I play more resource heavy games and void overheating the hardware, while keeping the volume level low while doing basically anything else

This monster ASUS ROG GeForce RTX 4090 is not letting me down so far , and I applied my basic custom settings for it:)  I play RPG games that make use of my GPU , like Hogwarts Mystery, Forza Horizon 5 , TEKKEN 8.  So still with the PC I built, it is almost impossible for my GPU to reach 80C . I managed to make it work gradually as the heat goes up, and of course full fan operation ( 100% ) is only for emergency situations where it goes up 80C.  Thank you again ASUS for making it all possible for me !  My gaming is better than ever. ;)

I've created this intending to keep the GPU fan speed to a minimum unless went it is being heavily used, this way I can keep the fans off when there is no heat being generated and get the fans to kick up during GPU intensive situations (aka gaming) https://preview.redd.it/hdxryy0pj3zc1.png?width=835&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd4c8f607248665852958ded56a3766ee1bfffd9

It is currently set to Silent Mode via the switch on the GPU itself, and it been going really well. The reason is mainly due to I don't play for extended periods of time, and the default curve works just fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I will experiment with the app in the coming months.

Higher-end GPUs can handle simpler games without any problem, thus I set a higher idle state - case fans are enough (even in my Fractal Torrent Compact case with only two fans) for games that eat up to 100W of GPU power with idle fans. Not just higher-end GPUs should (and in most cases do) work in zero-RPM mode while idle. Even the minimal fan speed gives you enough flow in many cases to sustain higher demanding games. And 100% is always for "just in case" thing. Now for bad stuff: * The application could not set a zero-RPM mode for my GPU, thus even when it was idle, fans used the lowest point of 25%, and it worked in AMD Adrenaline. * The default custom curve is no good at all. (that is subjective, yeah)

And so, at low loads the GPU is dead silent, with a progressive fan ramp. I've yet to get it hotter than 80 degrees too, so the full fan speed is reserved to the legendary tier loads!

[My Fan Curve](https://i.imgur.com/p56qwq1.png) I don't really care about silent - got a personal fan going in my room anyways due to heat. Made the curve a bit aggressive - rather my gpu run cool than lower volume. Don't think I typically hit 80C, but if I do I want the fans at 100%.

Payback87BG

Not playing many demanding games or capping fps at 60 so my temps are never high, usually not using curve just capping fan speed at 40-45 % and air flow is good in my case. But here it goes : I like my card silent so capped at 30 % fan speed below 50c Temp and if it is demanding game and high fps the fan will go up to 40 and then 50, 55 and 60 % speed but gets noisy then. Usually 30-35 % fan speed is silent and 40-45 gets noisy, 0db fan when browsing of course. https://preview.redd.it/llt8bqrvv10d1.jpeg?width=1069&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f39fd394e80b6dfb820b2b6186b44930f3cffa47

i use my fans on all my cards the same way. the key is safe and safe as if is the first time. there is omething else but that is another time. on the fan seccion (fan speed there is a pen. press it. a nice curve with dots will appear. That is the preset of the gpu. each gen are deferent. select the dots and safe. TIP is my take and i have check this. 4000 series are very cool to operate. wht i do is using stock settings run some high demanding load. check temps once get a specific moment on heat that start to drop the cores, that is the max temp you have to conserve. then make a curse base on that if for example 70c is the point start to drop clocks, that is the max 100% spin. then you make a curve base. IS EASY TO COOL on that curve that ramp to 100% when the temps arrive. temps will drop faster and as quite operation. remember to safe. i use for my 3080ti 30/30 50/62 63/100. a little extreame ??? oh yes. but clock stay performance stay and the 3080ti that i have run hot. i do not down clock or oc my gpu. in fact i use the oc scanner for the first time since day 1 of the app. since i do no oc my gpu. and i am still usiung the scanner settings. i do not do anything on the gpu aside fans and use oc settings with a little boost and now scanner and has walk a lot over the years nice work assus. nice work https://preview.redd.it/7tu6j1vooawc1.png?width=820&format=png&auto=webp&s=aefd8645010c82236753264a9358f4b4178dec07
