Question Control - nvlddmkm crash after exiting game The STRIX is much better than the MSI card in my opinion, and has AMAZING OC potential. I have a STRIX 970 and ASUS GPU Tweak let's me set the fan speeds easily, defining when you want the fans to turn on (they stay off under this temp), when you want them to speed up, and what maximum fan speed you want them to achieve up to 100%, so yeah you can fully define the curves and I like it way better than Afterburner. fan speed like that (>0% and only the manufacturer's automatic fan speeds can 'overwrite' that value) or whether that min fan speed actually is =0% (and therefore can be used to turn off the fans in Afterburner when overwriting the fan speed curve) Now the question remains whether or not the MSI & the ASUS Strix have a min. fan speed set in the GPU BIOS (~25%) and it won't allow any fan speeds lower than that however I've heard that just lowering the fan speed to 0% in Afterburner does not actually turn the fans off because every manufacturer has a min.

I'd really like to be able to create a custom fan curve where the fan speed stays at 0% until around 50☌ (or any other temperature of my liking). PS: Couldn't tell English isn't your native language. Ps: English is not my mother tongue, so please go easy on me Which software do you use to control the fans? MSI Afterburner? Can you change the temperature value at which the fans start/stop spinning? (iirc ASUS Strix is pre-configured to ~65☌, the MSI to ~50-55 and tbh I think 50☌ is the better choice, so I'd like to know whether or not you can adjust the threshold)ģ. Can you change the fan/temperature curve without erasing the 0db mode? (I've read that the ASUS Strix only goes up to 42% fan speed using auto, which may or may not limit OCing & that the fans only turn off when you're using the auto fan speeds)Ģ. Since I'm building a silent PC, this is probably the main reason for why I'm so interested in these 2 cards.īut since I plan on overclocking the GPU (and I know the MSI has the better OC potential), I'd like to know how much control over the fans you actually have.ġ.

I know both of them have a 0db (Zero) - mode, where the fans turn off completely. Ok this might be a stupid question, but can owners of the MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G and the ASUS STRIX GTX 970 please help me out here?
