The way you keep your gpus cool is with the little fans in front ( facing the connectors ), and the big fan on the end of rack blowing cool air below and over the top of the cards. Now to fan's 'LEAVE THEM ALONE', default to AUTO, having the fans run at full just makes noise

Set the power 60%, say you have a gtx-1070, then the power is say 150W death, I run at 110Watts, and they run full clock at 59C, never come close to the temp-limit.įor 1060, run at 95 watt per 'nvidia-settings -pl 95 -i x', where x is gpu number Have a big fan 50 cm that blows cool air perpendicular below the cards to keep power-supply and cpu cool and bring cool air in below of GPU line-up. Have little 10cm fans in front of the cards, one per every two graphic cards, most rigs have a slot for fans Keep your cards below 70C, do this with -limittemp=70, that way all software quits I've heard some people say 70% will kill your cards early, while others have said 70% has lasted them years. I have some GPU's that are ok with 50%, but some need 70%. I'm wondering what's the average fan speed some of you use?
