GTX 1050ti Fan Speed Percentage
GTX 1050ti Fan Speed Percentage
Hi everyone.
As the title suggests, I'm wondering about the ideal fan speed percentage to set using Afterburner. I'm trying to overclock my card and manage fan speeds, adjusting them based on temperature—like 50% at 50°C, 60% at 60°C, etc. Is this approach correct?
Additionally, I have a Gigabyte GTX 1050ti Windforce with 4GB RAM (plus 150 cores and 1000 MB of memory), which is a solid budget graphics card for 1080p.
Thanks in advance!
I listen to headphones while playing games, so I ignore any sound your computer makes through them. That’s why I increase my fan speeds when gaming to keep my 1060 running smoothly at around 60 degrees.
I think the difference in lifespan between a card run at 75°C and one at 60°C under load won’t be significant. The 1050 Ti is probably already outdated, no matter the temperature setting.
In short, if you don’t mind the noise, go with the lower temperature. If it bothers you, stick to the default fan settings—you’ll avoid heat-related issues long before the card fails.
You can adjust the fan speeds to suit your needs, increasing RPM for better cooling or reducing noise, and lowering RPM for quieter operation. If you need consistent performance at around 60°C under full load, conduct some tests to determine the optimal speed, which could be 60% or even lower.
You can adjust the fan speeds to suit your needs, increasing RPM for more cooling or lowering it for quieter operation. If you need consistent performance at around 60°C under full load, test different speeds to find the optimal balance. Should you keep below 60°C or allow it to reach 70-75°C when fully loaded? It depends on your priorities—quietness versus heat management—and it should not significantly impact longevity if managed properly.

I think the difference in lifespan between a card run at 75°C and one at 60°C under load won’t be significant. The 1050 Ti is probably going to become completely outdated no matter what temperature you set, whether it’s 60 or 75.
In short, if noise isn’t an issue, go with the lower temperature. If it bothers you, stick with the default fan settings—you’ll avoid heat-related wear before the card fails.

I think there wouldn’t be a big difference in lifespan between running at 75c versus 60c under load. The 1050 Ti is probably going to become outdated soon, no matter what temperature you choose.

That’s accurate! Thanks!
If anything, I think the card could actually last longer when the fans run at lower speeds. The fans are more likely to fail before the GPU reaches its temperature limit, whether it's 60 or 75°C. Running them faster might cause them to wear out sooner. However, I don't expect too much concern about the card's lifespan; just make sure the GPU stays under around 80-85°C and the fans operate at a noise level you're comfortable with.
