Apparently, this is one of those vid cards where the fans don't spin when at dead idle, so I had to make my first
fan curve.
Because of dust and cigarette smoke, I don't want the fans to ever completely stop, so I set the curve to keep the fans moving, but slowly.
In the past I would just lock the fans at say 60% and be done with it... but that was with blower (single fan) cards. The blower fans look to be much tougher fans, which are able to run at 60% 24/7.
The fans on this dual fan card, don't look to be that tough, hence the fan curve.

/e I left most of the curve set to EVGA default, and only changed the lowest "point" on the curve. I just wanted it set to keep the fans spinning at approx. 500 rpm instead of zero rpm.
In Valley's 18 tests on it's benchmark, I only hit 61C, so I figured the EVGA default, for the rest of the curve, was OK.
