I just got this Palit 4850 which has an aftermarket cooler, but it's louder than I thought it'd be. However, it runs rather cool (60C under full load) so I figure I should be able to turn down fan speed a little and still be at a comfortable temperature.
The problem with that is, fan speed shows up at 6% in CCC's Overdrive tab, and the slider for adjusting fan speed starts at 20%. I know the 6% value can't be right, so I'm afraid to change the speed using software. Could I cause damage by setting the fan speed via a program (especially when it doesn't seem to be reading the speed properly), or is it safe to experiment?
