That definitely helped. Unfortunately I was only able to accomplish this after one step.
Another concern I have is, since I have an EVGA iCX card, will I need to run both Precision OC X and MSI Afterburner to ensure both my fans will be curved based on MSI settings? Do I need to adjust sliders in Precision OC X as well? I feel like the overclocking utilities could conflict with each other, and playing with both produced different monitoring results depending on how I changed settings in both.
