What's the benefit of replacing my VGA video card's Fan with a 3x faster fan?

I've cooled down my vga by 3x has a 6300 rpm vs 2200. Does that mean I can set my game resolutions higher because the vga card doesnt overheat? confused. What's the benefit of cooling down the vga even more|||If the card can be overclocked, then it can be overheated which will either kill the card or damage it over the long term. The faster fan might help to keep it cooler.



You can always set your game resolutions to the highest level that the card will support, but the game may run very slowly or be choppy. Overclocking the card may improve this.



There is no point in replacing the stock fan if the card is not overheating.|||Cooling down your video card will extend the life of your components (and not just your video card, because your other hardware can be negatively affected by ambient heat) and stop your video card from overheating in the future.



You won't be able to push the card harder than it's designed to perform with just more cooling, but it will be able to remain at it's peak performance without being interrupted by heat.
