MSI GeForce RTX 3070 fan curve

[Sanppa]

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone else here using the specific GPU. What are your temps like? Mine is approx 65 under heavy load and i am using custom fan curve in which the max speed is 70%.

Just wanna know that is it safe to run the card with that kind of fan speed while gaming or should i run the card with stock settings where the temp is 70 under heavy load? I am aiming to get long lifespan for the GPU.

ive ran all my GPUs (EVGA)on a constant speed for years depending on each GPU
noise level/temps @ 70-80% and i find the temps stay as low as they can get.because your
not letting them hit high temps then trying to cool it down.so from my experience no
not going to hurt running at 70% at all.as for longevity the cooler the better.
and have never had a fan(GPU fans) go bad or a GPU die
running my EVGA 3090 the same way now.

If your gpu temp drops below 70 degrees while gaming, you are doing it wrong.

1st april joke? Little late for it. Lower is always better. Best thing you do is to keep it below 50°C.

Temp fluctuations are no good for hardware. I havent checked my gpu temps in a while (currently at work), but im pretty sure it never drops under 50 even idle on desktop. Fans set to stop under 60 degrees C and im running walpaper engine which uses some gpu... BUT its running passively and silently. Fan curve maxes out at 45% and is enough to keep gpu at ~80-82 range when gaming, which means i can barely hear it.

Mine is currently at 43 degrees. Fan doesn't kick in until it hits 50 degrees. I've got a spreadsheet and Steam open on a 4k 144hz display Steam one side and Spreadsheet on the other. I also have a second 1440p 144hz display with VLC player for music a web browser with multiple tabs open.

Also have wallpaper ranging from 1080p to 4k in a slideshow that changes every 1 minute. Not really GPU intensive when I can't see the wallpaper very often but thought I'd point it out none the less.

I'm running a custom fan curve on my EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3. A similar sized triple-fan card. Looking at HWinfo, my max temperature today has been 66.3 and the hotspot max was 78.2. When I was using the default fan speeds, the temperatures were around 10 degrees higher.

I wouldn't worry unless the main temperature started hitting 90 or more.

Alright so i recorded 2h gaming of BFV (my usual gaming time) and my average gpu temp was 63 and hot spot was 74. I lowered fan speed to 66% at max and got these results.

them temps are fine but cooler is better a little fan noise is not a good trade off with heat
personally i like the 65c under heavy load you had.

Alright, thanks for the reply! I will keep an eye.
