Well hey there! I just picked up my first (In my opinion) high-end video card, the EVGA GTX 970 SC with the ACX 2.0 cooling.
Anywho, wanted to monitor my fan speeds, but I'm terrified to a weird extent of changing anything about my hardware (Outside of installing new components). So I went into Precision X 16, and wanted to check my fan speeds, but I accidentally pressed something! I think it was just the fan speed setting, but I rushed to the button that said default and clicked it. But now I'm afraid of what that did. This is a really stupid sounding question, I know, but I just want to confirm with someone more experienced than me that the DEFAULT button simply set the card to the exact condition it was in before I launched precision? I just want to make sure I didn't mess the card up or anything, I'm perfectly fine with whatever settings the 970 SC ACX 2.0 came with, and just want to make sure that, now that I've pressed default, it will go right back to those settings.
 
Thank you so much for your help, and even if you couldn't post, I hope you all have a great day!

    You are correct in your assumption.  You probably clicked the Manual Fan setting by clicking in the "bar" below the Fan Speed setting. If it sounded like a leaf blower for a second, that's probably it.  Generally with Precision X, your driver will crash and auto reset default values if you get too wild and crazy with your tweaking.  Nice safety feature IMHO.  And I would also add that a GTX 970 superclock is indeed a high end card.  I'm a little jealous with my poor GTX 560 SC.  And you have a great day as well there, Happy Halloween and all that!

    Sounds great, thank you so much, arcanevain! Happy Halloween!
     
    -----Edit-----
     
    Just to be clear, and this is another potentially dumb question, the default setting in precision sets it to the Superclocked specs, right? Not the base 970 specs?

    Yes, the default clocks for the SC (and all video cards) are set by the bios.  So unless you edit a bios .bin file and reflashed it, your card will default to the superclocked settings. :)
