I have Dual EVGA GTX 680s (2GB Each). below are some stats I've pulled from a program called "OpenHardwareMontior" while running no programs:
Clocks:
a) GPU Core: 324 MHz
b) GPU Memory: 324 MHz
c) GPU Shader: 648 MHz
d) Current Temps: 37.0C
e) Max Temps: 38.0C
Current Loads:
a) GPU Core: 0.0%-1.0%
b) GPU Memory Controller: 3.0% - 8.0%
c) GPU Video Engine: 0.0%
d) GPU Memory: 12.5% - 12.6%
Max Loads:
a) GPU Core: 10.0%
b) GPU Memory Controller: 10.0%
c) GPU Video Engine: 0.0%
d) GPU Memory: 12.7%
GPU Fans:
a) 30% Speed
b) 1000-1200 RPM
Note, the temps for one of the GPUs is always about 5C less than the other, while the other stats for each are virtually identical.
Also, I'd like to note that the temps while playing BF3 are about 70C-71C and the GPU Core Load is about 50%-51%.
Now, I realize this is not too hot (the max being something like 98C), but just because a GPU can operate at that temp does not mean it should.
So, I'm wondering, would setting my fans to 100% speed capacity all the time, therefore cooling my GPUs more, increase performance, lifespan, etc.? or would it do more harm than good somehow?
Any Help Is Much Appreciated.
