Im running a 550ti that runs at 45% fan speed by default and never changes. this sometimes causes my gpu to crash when i game, making the screen flickers violently with random colors. how do I change it so that the fans run at 100% by default when windows starts up?

i know you can do it manually, but does that make it so 100% fan speed is default when windows starts up? the whole point is i sometimes forget to set it to 100% when i restart my computer, so id like it to be default when windows starts up
 


You either set it manually to a set speed, or you let the fan profile decide. If you set it manually it stays that way until you change things (may reset with a driver update).

I believe the card itself stores the fan speed profile so any change you make should be independent of Windows.
