290x temp question

[futang17]

Right now I have PCS+ 290x with fan speed set @40% and max temp is 68c. I was wondering if I could set my fan speed speed even lower with a hit to temperatures.

What are "good" acceptable temp ranges for PCS+ 290x? My endgame is a silent gaming pc. Thanks in advance.

Tho tbh 40% should be near silent tbh!

it's pretty quiet but I have sensitive ears. Once I get the vid card down next step is PSU.

^ no i bumped it up an extra 50 mhz on the core to 1100. Left the voltages the same.

my fan curve is 20% to 50c then 40%. I feel i can improve that without too big a hit on the temp. I'll see what temps I get at 34%.

Thanks, good point. I do notice that currently my VRM1 are hitting mid/high 80s. I have a noctua 140mm exhaust fan sucking out the hot air...
