Fan profiles on a graphics card

Danm54 · 25 Mar 2010 at 17:19

Is there any way to set a fan profile for a graphics card, ive got a GTX 260 and 2 case fans blowing onto it so the fan can be really low and the case fans do a good job of keeping it cool.

Ive got EVGA precision but thats either a set speed or auto, auto doesn't go below 40% though.
Ive set it to 25%, the lowest and the case fans keep it at about 50c which is what it ran at in the last case, id keep it there all the time but if it gets a bit toasty id want the fan to spin up and cool it down.

MSI afterburner is wayyy easier than rivatuner, been there, done that with working out equations lol.
In afterburner you just draw a graph with temp vs fan speed, done in 30s

ah cool, I've always just used riva tuna - will check the MSI afterburner thing out. although I've got EVGA Precision and you can do profiles on that too.
