I set my Fan speed to 90%. as long as my GPU is on 60 to 65 degree Celsius i will not increase my fan to max. its very noisy. However, Fans are replaceable so nothing to worry. Just expect a shorter GPU Fan lifespan at about 2 years maybe?.

I started mining last year May 2017 and up to now my GPU fans are running good @ 90%.

Hello guys i wonder what fan speed is best for our GPU on mining?
100% or Auto ?

100% will kill your fans.

Not sure about ATI cards, but Nvidia cards allow you to set a temperature threshold that lets the fans operate at whatever speed is required while limiting the amount of power the cards draw.  Not quite auto, it's a bit more complex, but super effective.

.

if you are nvidia tdp of 75% and fan speed of 75%  is pretty much bullet proof. on msi afterburner

Setting fans at 100% kills them faster




I don't use windows as I have lots of rigs  I use smos

I set a minimum fan speed at 60%  and smos adjusts.


I set gpu temp max to 69c  and smos adjusts.

I set tdp to 75 or 80%

I use mostly nvidia 1080ti's

I wouldn't use Auto, in my case the cards overheat (Above 80 C). I've adjusted them to 100% and keep temperatures between 65-68C. On the other hand though, you are wearing your fans prematurely, they are not expensive to buy though. 80-90% would be ideal if you are not having any overheating issues.

I'm no expert, because I've just recently begun mining with my GPUs, but I've been keeping my cards very cool (65c or cooler). I do not run my cards at 100% TDP, something closer to 75% and I leave the fans to auto. Depending upon the design of the fan, leaving it on 100% fan-speed may or may not significantly affect the life of your GPU.

I would monitor the temperature of your cards and prioritize that, because from there you will be able to tell if you need more fan speed. It depends on your cards, your rig, your TDP and other settings; but my biggest concern is keeping the cards cool and prolonging their lifespan as much as possible. This leads me to use whatever fan speed keeps my cards below 65c, Auto has worked well and normally keeps fan speeds below 40%. You don't want to overwork your fans for no benefit.

its really depends on a lot of factor Smiley

Ambient temp...

You dont need 100% fan speed if you can keep your gpu under 70C or lower with 50% or less fan speed
You can set the target gpu temp with mining software or tune software , set the fan auto and you are good to go ....
