What is a good fan curve for GPU?
Thus, we recommend starting from 30\% fan usage and increasing it once it crosses 30C (the idle GPU temperature a.k.a your room temperature). At or slightly before 80C is where you want to reach maximum fan speed so place a marker at 100\% fan speed at a temperature nearing 80C.
