How to Cool Down Your GPU Using Only Software! (Super-Easy)

In this video I talk about how you can cool down your GPU using nothing but software. I use MSI Afterburner to change the fan profile on my card so that the fan runs faster, therefore keeping the card cooler. This is super easy and requires absolutely no skill.

Put my fan speed to 100% and my PC became a leaf blower, I was able to skip the dust cleaning step you mentioned because it did it for me thanks bro.

This was the MOST practical PC tip of all time! I'm playing Jedi Fallen Order on "epic" settings and my GPU is not going over averages 69-70° during gameplay! Thanks for this!

me : turns my pc fan at maximum speed.
my pc : *i believe i can fly*

[falcro]

my pc went into airplane mode when i tunred my fan speed at 100%

Two years later and you still smarter then most these other youtubers, Thanks Tech With Tim!

People, if you have A Laptop, there is NO fan control!

"My 43 degree card is hot"
My GPU runs at 91 degrees lol

Here's few things to notice for both PC and laptop users:

Laptop:
- Laptops usually overheat in any scenario whether thats gaming or watching youtube (usually happens with cheap-mid laptops with a price tag up to $500, more expensive laptops tend to cool down a device a bit).
- Most of laptops may not give you an option to control fan speeds, so that may be the very reason why you cannot change it in MSI afterburner as well.

PC:
- GPU's idle temperature should be between 30-45. Anything higher while idling is a bit of a problem and you should probably replace the thermal paste and clean the GPU a bit, remove all the dust you find in there. GPU's temperature while gaming tend to rise above 60 celcius in most cases which cause the fan to spin faster which makes it louder as well. If the temperature is above 80, consider lowering settings or putting a frame limit. That way you won't stress the GPU as much and you will increase it's lifespan.
- If by any reason you gotta find a way to lower the temperature (like for crypto miners), your best bet would be lowering the core/memory clocks or lowering the voltage (i would highly recommend to unexperienced/newbies to ignore the voltage part. If you really wanna do it, maybe do a research on google first).
- Aftermarket coolers/watercooling solutions tend to help a ton on GPU's, but i'd rather recommend these 2 options only to the more expensive GPUS for cooling. Buying expensive coolers/watercoolers on cheap gpus, like seriously?

Finally an straight answer on what the Gear and Auto buttons actually mean/ do! Thank you so much!

[joshs]

thank you for this video. very beginner friendly. i couldn't figure out how to setup a fan curve until i found this video <3

[markuskumpulainen]

And after this everyone should lower their voltages and that will lower temps a lot. Just use some benchmark software every time you lower voltages and whats when your frames start to lower lime 5 or above, then dont lower voltages anymore.

Literally subscribed and liked because of how clear and concise this video is ...
Is it possible to upload a quick Intel i7 overclocking guide like this ?

[Tony-nlpf]

Guys make sure to look at the fans. For some reason my fans randomly went to zero when I applied the curve, card started heating up. Must have been a bug, I uninstalled then reinstalled and it worked.

Electric dusters cause ESD and thereby giving any or all gpus EOS. (ESD = electric static discharge. EOS = Electric over shock) EOS fries your chips in a circuit board.

[jancarela]

this helped alottt. i saw videos telling me to upgrade all the fans, fixing the fan curve literally gave me the same results

[pangs]

Thanks for teaching me how to turn a gaming laptop to a military class jet engine 👍

[thehorroruniverse]

OMG IT WORKS! I CAN FINALLY PLAY NEED FOR SPEED HEAT!!! thank you so much for this. the whole shutting down thing was getting on my nerves and now this solved it!

[igorfonseca]

Thank you man, it helped me a lot, nice toturial!! :D

[javed]

Beware of fan life ur fan can get busted anytime while applying these settings. They wont mention the cons. Just set fan speed to auto for safety and prolonged fan life.

[twistedtree]

thanks for the share dude really saved me
