I just bought a Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 and logged the sensors using GPU-Z while running 3DMark06. I noticed the GPU would reach as high as 71C while the memory would reach as high as 72C. It idles at 51C. Is this safe?
Rather than use a fixed fan value which would be noisy all of the time, is there any way I can tweak the automatic fan profile? Basically have it idle at X% and increase it up to Y% under full load? I don't mind a louder GPU fan under full load but having it run that fast all the time would be kind of loud.
What are some other alternatives? Just set the fan speed manually?
