Video card fan speed and Heating question?

hi

in general, does setting higher fan speed for a video card while playing a game -to make it cooler- increase the performance of the card? is it The cooler it is the faster it runs? OR the hotter it is the faster it runs??



Thnx|||Hello



Well if you let you GPU get too hot, it will decrease it's lifespan, personally I recommend setting it to automatic fan adjustment, or if not and a little noise doesn' bother you then set it to 100%.



Good Luck|||The cooler the better.



If it gets so hot that it impacts performance, then it's no good, the video card has to throttle back it's speed to prevent overheating.
