I did not “tune” it, i simply limited the FPS because the games where coil noise was happening i got about 500 fps or more. Ontop of that i simply changed the fan speed curve (how fast it kicks in) to keep the temperature in the regions i feel okay with under full load.

The voltage regulator is at 79 degrees while the card is at 71 under 90% load. The fan speed is 55%. The 2nd voltage regulator is at ~70 too though.

The noise is ok after limiting the FPS and adjusting the fan speed and i haven’t touched any other settings. I assume these are all harmless. On low temperatures i reduced the fan speed it and on higher temperatures i made it scale a bit better. The perfomance was okay so far. Is the voltage regulator temperature something i shouldn’t worry about?
