Fan control on CCC

Would using the manual fan control and setting it to 60% cause the fan to live a shorter time before burning out? Since on Auto its always on 39-42%

Not really. It might shorten the lifespan but by the time that happens you will most likely have a new video card. I haven't had a fan on video card go out on me and I always adust the speeds depending on the task I'm doing.jtcraft

I'll probably keep my vid card 3+ years, will it last that long at 60%? its a xfx 5750

I leave mine on auto because my 4850 gets real loud

Alright then, I'll stick it to 50 just to be safe :P, just an off topic question but my card idles at about 43 C and runs at high 60's low 70's under load, If I turned the fan Up could I overclock a bit?

Yes, and I haven't had even had my 8800GTS 512 go bad yet, and the fan is pretty much at 100% while gaming. 70 under load isn't bad, infact thats actually fairly cool, go ahead OC it.

Wait...screw that, its at 43c at idle, i just tried the furmark test, its been on for about 15 min. its at 88C! Is this a bit to hot? this is at stock settings, im not going to OC it but should I get another fan? a 45 degree difference from just if its under load or not is pretty big to me

Turn the fan up
