Ive been playing bf4 and i wanted to see what the temps go to mid game and seen that my card once hit 90c. Is this a warning sign ? i have 5 case fans 1 140mm and 4 120mm fans and a evo 212 for my cpu fan. The fan on my GPU are running a 30% and the case fans are all at 60% according to speedfan. Not sure what to do if this is bad.
 
why are your fans only running at 30%? if the gpu is getting that hot, it should be kicking in sooner.

Try asus gpu tweak or msi afterburner and set a fan profile. I use asu gpu tweak and you can set fan profiles to turn the fan to certain percentages at certain temps. you can also make sure you fan is set to auto. sounds like it's stuck at 30%.

Good thing I asked it didn't know the fans can be automated to prevent high temps I just thought you had to keep a eye on them and crank them up manually and if temps reached such temps you needed to up you ventilation and your cooling system. Where do I go to download the software that I need ? Or does speed fan allow me to configure that threw it ?

I downloaded trixx from sapphire but speed fan is not in sync with it. is there anything out there better then speedfan? I have mine at custom settings and from 0-30c i have the fans at 30% after that it goes accordingly
