Hi guys,
 
My new gtx970 ftw is running idle at ~45C and when I´m gaming it jumps to 75C~
I´m just letting the fans on AUTO settings on Precision X, and they run about 35% of speed to maintain those 75C~
 
My question is: Should I manually set my fans to about 60% and let my temperature at 65C~ or I should just let the fans on auto and temps at 75C~?
 
Im running 2 monitors but none is above 120hz
 
I know it´s not a very high temp but I also know it´s not the best temp. I´m not sure if I supposed to be changing fan speed.
 
No overclocks. I live in Brazil so kinda hot in here.

Thanks
 

Thanks for the reply!
 
I think it might have something to do with me running 2 monitors. None of them high high mhz.
 
I was researching and found an article talking aboud nvidiainspector and how to set things up properly... not sure if it´s my case tho

what case do you have? whats your intake cfm? whats your exhaust cfm?
your card will just disperse the heat in to your case.

Making sure that you have proper flow through your case is important otherwise the heat is being dispersed into the same air which, as it gets warmer and warmer, will eventually become too inefficient for your card to maintain the same level of operation and once it hits that 80°C threshold it will start throttling to protect itself from being damaged by the heat. 
 
Ambient room temperature will affect the transfer as well since you'll be effectively starting at a higher temperature, though unless your room is over 35°C it's probably not your biggest concern as the operating temps can double that
