(This may belong in the Air Cooling forum - not too sure.)
Not being happy with the stock fans on my 1050 Ti OC, I pulled the cowling off and bodged a cooling solution of my own:
(since improved with cable ties in place of the lazzie bands
) However, these fans are plugged into a mobo header and run at a constant speed, leaving me no way to know in-game whether or not they're doing enough work; got to 78 degrees during a DOOM 4 run, which is borderline for me.
Is it safe to run aftermarket fans such as these right off the GPU header? This card has no PCI-e connector and we're talking around 2W for the pair at max chat...
Cheers,
M.
