Topic: What minimum fan speed do you set your GPU rigs to? - page 3. (Read 1328 times)
With my Palit super jetstream 1080ti, the fans needs to be running at 70% just to keep my cards around 65c at 70% TDP for most algos. Don't know why my cards go so hot compared to other cards. I should also say that between my cards it differs 10c for some mysterious reasons.
I can only speak for nvidia cards as I own gtx 1060 cards only.
Usually the temp range is from 62 to about 67 with the fans ranging from almost about the same range.
Well, setting up a fixed value for fan speed isn't actually the best idea as they might be running for at an extra speed uselessly.
The best thing would be using a custom curve for the fan speed as that in MSI afterburner.
Since some cards are bad in terms of cooling, the curves differ from one card to another as well (so the sync settings across cards settings is unchecked.)
I guess running the fans at high speeds would only matter with the fans themselves and nothing more.

In my country winter is pretty cold, so in winter time enough 60%. But usualy I set up to 85%
Well.. If you are using Claymore miners, you can set your target temperature in your .bat file, and the fans will be spinning to "keep" the temperature steady.
If you are using AB, you can set your custom fan curve and that will be the same.. : )

i run 85% in 2 years..
nothing happen coz not only gpu chip need to cooling down, but also vrm and other component.

On my Windows rigs, I set a standard "fan curve" on pretty much everything that goes 100% at 80C, 80% at 70C, 60% at 60C, 40% at 50C, and sometimes 20% at 40C.
On my LINUX rigs, I generally juggle TDP and fan settings to aim for about 70C card temp when the room is in the mid-80F range, which usually ends up with a fan setting at 80% right now.
I expect that to drop some as I get my current power infrastructure closer to saturation and have to start pushing "efficiency" harder vs "max hashrate", or start building my "new rig" builds for efficiency.

As Undefined3145 has said I set a custom fan curve to try and keep temps at around 60c.
I don't consciously set a global minimum fan speed, but I definitely set a custom fan curve using MSI Afterburner (otherwise I find that the fans on my cards are always unreasonably low at the temps they reach).
Generally my target temp is around high 60s-low 70s. You could probably go slightly higher without significantly decreasing the lifespan of your cards, but it's important to avoid heading too high.
You can also use cheap box fans to help alleviate the strain on the integrated fans. (Just be sure to avoid turbulence wherever possible.)

I don't think FAN speed has anything to do, it is actually about temperature, running on high temperature for prolonged time is definitely going to reduce life of GPU. However, if fan is spinning at high rate continuously then due to wear and tear, you may need to change fan soon.
So there is no definitive answer whether it lasted long or failed soon, depends upon various factor.

I'm wondering what's the average fan speed some of you use?
I have some GPU's that are ok with 50%, but some need 70%. I've heard some people say 70% will kill your cards early, while others have said 70% has lasted them years. Anyone have experience?
