Quickie Guide to setting GPU fan speed with MSI Afterburner (free program)


In MSI afterburner...

1. Just after the fan speed slider... un-click the Auto
2. Then, move the slider to 70-90% or until the noise gets on your nerves :)
3. Then click: Apply
4. Then a tad further left, click: Apply overclocking at system startup








Try to get your GPU temp at idle, about where your CPU temp is, or until the GPU fan noise gets too loud for your desires.
