I hate the fan profile! EVGA and others need to stop listening to the whiny few that complained about it not being like the strix! The fans can keep this card well under 65c in most mid towers running at only 30%. And for the people trying to run a semi-silent gaming rig, the fan profile is a disaster! Because the extra unnecessary heat build up can cause the CPU fan to spin like crazy, just to keep the CPU at normal temps. After that a semi silent rig becomes fairly audible. Also if the card can run cooler, And it can run much cooler than the factory fan profile. Then what the ---- is the point in buying a GPU with double fans? It makes no sense! It used to be when you bought a double cooler card, You never had to worry about messing with the fan speed. I would love to have the older fan profile rather than this one! The ACX coolers are nice, But the ACX 1 and 2 is not good enough for a semi-passive cooler setup! Because the VRMs and the backside V-ram are mostly left out from this cooler's setup, And there is allot more heat generating than just the 60c detected on the GPU chip. In other words don't set a semi-passive cooler setup on a cooler that was not designed for it! This cooler was design only for a non-passive fan profile. And it really irritates me that I have to run a extra program in the background just to keep the card properly cool. Especially after paying over $300 for the thing! The semi-passive setup is pointless anyway! Because the fans are still going to eventually run anyway! It's like washing a car so you can drive it through mud! It makes zero sense!
