I always use custom fan curve setting in MSI Afterburner or Sapphire Trixx. I set the fan speed to 5 points above the GPU's temperature. For example, if the GPU's temp is 52C, then the fan will spin at speed of 57%, 65C temp 70% fan, and it always spin based on current GPU's temp. Can this custom fan curve setting be done via PhoenixMiner?
ALWAYS use 3rd party soft to control clocks, power and fans: OverdriveNtool for red and nvidiaInspector for green; don't use AB - it's shit. Don't use miners for controls.
AB works just fine. And will apply clocks at boot. Can nvidia inspector do that?
