How much Fan Speed is Safe while Overclocking a Gpu

I have an Asus GTX 750 1 GB OC gpu, I am overclocking it but I am concerned about temperature so I want to set my fan's speed manually.:bounce:

During heavy gaming or 100% load, my fan is utilized up to 56% on "auto mode" which is around 2600+ rpm, keeps my gpu temperature up to 81*, but can I push it to 2900 or 3000 rpm by moving slider in MSI Afterburner.

The max rpm of the fan is 4100 i.e. at 100% utilization (I had examined it by moving slider to maximum in MSI Afterburner for 2 minutes but it was creating so much noise that afraid me:(...)

I just want a stable overclock with maximum temperature less than 80*....

So please suggest me the best rpm if it is possible...

Also the resultant increase in power consumption due to it (I don't know if some thing like this happen:heink:.....)

Very negligible affect overall, especially if you only apply fan profile for when you're gaming. You're far more likely to upgrade your GPU before the fan quits. Lowering the overall temps of GPU core from higher fan sped would have a better chance of prolonging actual GPU life than worrying about fan life.

Well my fan was utilized 60% (i.e. ~2725 rpm ) without overclocking, when my GPU use to be under 100% load and attain 80*...

But I have made custom fan curve in which I have kept 65% ( 2950 rpm ) fan usage from 70* to 80* ( GPU temperature is cap to 80*) so will it result in shorting fan life or have negligible effect......
