ExpertTool problem?

[ABud]

Hi all,

At what point should the fan on my GPU start ramping up when controlled by ExpertTools dynamic mode? I ask this because I've noticed a temp of 70oC whilst running a game (F1 2010) and the fan is still at 40%. If I set manually to ~70% it easily maintains temps in the 50s which seems better to me? Also I tried using MSI's Afterburner and setting a manual fan profile but that didn't do anything, any ideas (I turned off ExpertTool but didn't uninstall it).

The card is a Gainward GTX 460 1GB jobby.

Ta,

Andy

It's a noise thing.....if the noise doesn't bother you, reset the fan profile to one that makes ya feel comfy. 70C is "no sweat:" for a vid card but by all means crank up the fan if the noise isn't irritating.
