Title: Program to auto control temperature on 1 target nvidia 1080TI?
Post by: Porrit on November 09, 2018, 06:53:29 PM
Hi Guys,

I really like how OverdriveNTool sets a static temperature on amd cards. I mean it auto controls the fan speed on for example 60 degrees. Does anybody knows how to do this with a nvidia 1080TI rig? OverdriveNtool doesnt work on nvidia and Afterburner can't do this right? Only set custom fan speed graphs.

Thanks!

Afterburner auto setting with your custom fan speed graph is the way to go.

Higher fan speed as your gpu heats up is what regulates and maintain the gpu temp you want.

I set mine at 100 percent fan speed if it hits 75 degrees. This is my fail safe setting to protect gpu from getting too hot.

My gpu run in the 60  degree with 60 percent fan speed on average. Low temps and low fan speed. Hot summer it does like 65 degree with 70 fan speed. So a little bit more energy but conserving energy.

Don't be a noob and set it to a fixed fan speed of like 80. This gives no fail safe if temp rises up a lot and your fans are locked at 80 speed max.. And running on 80 fan speed if gpu temps or at 55 degree is just waste of energy and wearing down fan quicker.

Run your fans on a graph curve. If you run at fixed speed your doing it wrong. Graph curves adjust correctly for time of day and seasons and room environment. Fixed fan speed settings don't account for all those variables and you tend to run the first and speeds too high for worst case scenario all the time
