Re: GPU Fan speed problem. MSI Kombuster EVGA OC Scanner X Heaven Unigine 3D Mark OCCT
All can stress-test a GPU.
Some people even suggest running multiple things at once (a game, 3D Mark, and a movie) for maximum GPU flagellation.
I would let the GPU decide how fast to run the fan. If that doesn't give you peace of mind, then programs like EVGA E-Leet or MSI Afterburner let you load custom fan curves that ramp up the fan by a user-determined percentage based on heat.
I would check the temps inside a real game and not in a synthetic benchmark. If it's running too hot, reset the heat sink and reapply the TIM (odds are they put gobs of it on, and you should use very little). -- Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. |
