Hi!

I have been enjoying The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt recently and my GPU has been getting hot. Really hot, and i'm pretty sure that it has caused couple of crashes because of overheating.

When playing the game the GPU temp went into 75 C quickly and from there rose up to 80 C.

So i decided to download MSI Afterburner and made a new fan curve for the GPU. Here's the picture of the new fan curve.

At around 73-75 C the fans will operate at 80%. After the new curve, GPU temp has been stable 72 - 74 C when playing on ultra.

Is this a healthy operating temperature? Could the 80% fan speed kill the GPU or shorten its life span? Is my fan curve good looking or should i tweak it some more?
