Fact is, I don't know a whole lot about configuring a GPU. I appreciate your time and effort in providing direction.
EVGA Part Number: 12G-P5-3967-KR (air cooled)
Goal: Set GPU to OC profile, if that is advisable.
So if I do the following:
1) shut down my computer
2) make sure computer bios is in "slow boot" mode
3) probly even unplug PSU from the wall and drain down power via power switch
4) Set GPU to "OC" mode
5) it is possible Precision X1 will require a GPU OC Bios update when i power up.
Q1: can/do i still use a custom fan profile in Precision X1 (Y/N)?
Q2: Or is this maneuver not a good idea given GPU OC bios, as far as i understand it, now controls the fans (Y/N)?
Q3: if Precision X1 has an unexpected shut down, then the GPU will take over with its built in fan control in OC mode (Y/N)?
Q4: Do i even need to run Precision X1, if I am relying on the GPU OC fan curve (Y/N)?
Sorry for the drawn out explanation, I just gotta make sure I understand your recommendation.

dont know if you need the following (if u need other info, i'll try to get it for you):
BF2042 @ GPU at 55% usage, 60 C [Prefer Maximum Performance, Ultimate Power plan] It is entirely possible I'm not implementing my GPU correctly. Seems to me it should be like 100% usage. If you want to tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'm ready to get schooled.
