Long story short, default fan profile for my cards is quite inefficient (I have 2 770's in SLI, the first card hit 80 degrees after about 2 hours of playing Witcher 3 under a near-constant 90% load, I know 80 degrees isn't particularly close to the "danger zone" of 90+ degrees, but it's summer, and the room gets REALLY hot because of it). The fans idle at like a 15% load when nothing's happening, and the cards hang at about 30 degrees, I doubt they go much higher than 40% under heavy loads, so I decided to use MSI Afterburner to configure the fan profile myself in the hopes of making the room temperature more bearable, I just want to know what the "safe" speed for the fans would be. I've heard that pushing them too hard for extended periods of time can wear down the motors more quickly and compromise their longevity, and I'd like to keep these cards as long as I can before they bite the dust.
