hi and welcome back to this bytes4u in this video i'm going to show you how to keep your evga
geforce rtx 3060 xc gaming nice and cool using evga's own precision x1 so let's go ahead and get
started all right so this is not going to be 100 real world scenario i have the microphone about
two inches away from the side of the card this is going to be blowing hot air out of the syst out
of the card into the system now mind you the car doesn't get very hot but i just wanted to show you
how to cool it in case it does get hot so right now the fans are spinning at about four percent
not very much in a few seconds you'll see them turn off you've already seen one or two turn off
now over here it's set to auto now i'm just going to go ahead and turn them off completely over here
under fan speed we can go ahead and either link them up so they could all be one exact temperature
i wouldn't do this but i'm just showing you how to do this or maybe fan number two needs more help
so you notice fan number two this guy right over here is spinning faster than fan number one
right over here okay normally you want to keep them together
and then you'll notice the fan curves or the fan speeds right over here they're running at
1599 and it's going to go up a little bit and down a little bit but they're going to stay within sync
now i don't recommend using here because the fans are not going to rev up past
that those rpms you know when needed now coming over here right right here we could find
your fan speeds i'm going to go ahead and hit defaults for now
all right so now it's going to hit 40 percent right over here that's where we're at now
now if i want to rev it up a little bit more enable this
now the noise that you hear i'm going to put it back to default is not coming from the
card because obviously you've heard or what the system sounded like when the fans were off all
this noise is coming from the liquid cooling unit the three fans on the side the power supply which
is at the back of this system i'm going to have a full list of system specs down below and then of
course the liquid cooling fan on the cold plate now this is the arctic 280 by the way now again
i'm going to raise it up let's say to 50 and turn on the fan curves here i love using fan curves
now you're not going to hear much of a difference there so now if i bump it up
now under hardware monitor right up here you can see everything that's going on
coming down frame rate that gpu temperature is what we're focused on right now
you notice that just keeps dropping because
we've raised the fan speeds coming back over here we're at 2264 rpm at 69
bumping it up to 80.
that dropping even more now
79
about 2602 rpm it's going to go up and down a little from there coming back over here
let's just go crazy
so
now we're at 100 let's say 3 300 rpm
now that is an insane fan curve
i don't like to have a fan curve like that i like the default one they give you here
it's going to keep the fans at 40 degrees not like down here
but maybe you want it when it hits 50 degrees to go more than 50
you want it to go to 60 and you want this one to come over here
when it hits 69 you want it to go to 89 degrees and you want to replicate that over here as well
or come close to it
so that is the temperatures that is going to be at now maybe
it's not too loud it doesn't bother you it's not loud at all for me see still incredibly quiet
you can hear the fans starting to rev up but not by much
maybe you're more comfortable here
now we're hearing the fans rev up a little bit and the temperature is keeping a nice
and cool 29 degrees now mind you it will go up while you're playing games
but as long as you have an aggressive fan curve you're gonna be good now the fan curve that they
provide i just go to default turn this back on and hit apply the fan that curve they provide here is
nice it's not going to steer you wrong i prefer to have the fan spinning at all times but you know
if you want to get a little bit more aggressive which i do always a little bit more aggressive
that way you prolong the life of your gpu
now with that 50 rpm you're more than likely going to be about as far as i am
from the system if i reach my finger out as far as i can then i can touch the video card
you're not going to hear it that much if you have the side panel on
like i just have right now you're going to hear it even less now i might be cheating a little
bit i have the rear of the system sticking out in front of the monitor chances are you're not
so you're going to hear it a little bit more than you normally would but to me this is great this is
typically how i play how i do everything with that fan curve aggressive as it is right now
so evga has the 0 db fan speeds that means until it hits about 50 to 55 degrees
the fans are going to stay off maybe it's 40 degrees i don't remember just yet but
the fans are going to stay off so there's zero noise as you saw before
i prefer to have the fans always spinning even if they're at relatively low rpms because
all that extra air circulation helps your overall system keep nice and cool i have the fans right
over here you can see along the side which they would normally be on the front blowing cool air in
because there is a side panel here a glass side panel that circulates the air around
here now the video card is expelling heat from the fins so that's going to be be caught up in
that circulation and then it's going to come out of the top because of the liquid cooling unit
having the fans exhausting this particular case doesn't have a fan in the rear exhausting
most cases do though so that's going to help you out as well in this particular video i
did not go over overclocking though you see that it can precision isn't only good for
cooling the gpu or setting fan curves to cool the gpu but it's also great for overclocking now if
you'd like to have a video on overclocking let me know down in the comments below i'd be more
than happy to help you out on that i have a full review comparing this card alongside
another card that doesn't really overclock so well so i didn't do overclocking in that video
but what i can do is make another video over clock again comparing to that card that can't overclock
and show you guys how that works as well so let me know down in the comments below as always please
do click like and subscribe it helps me out a ton and then also if you like buy me a cup of coffee
that helps me out a ton if you've noticed the video quality on this
should be a lot clearer i'm seeing it on my little viewfinder here so i can't totally tell yet
because of all the traffic i'm getting and because of the cup of coffees that you know you guys have
been donating to me that i appreciate so much i just bought a brand new canon 90d every single
penny that i get for this bites for you goes back into this fights for you to bring you
bigger and better videos so thank you all so much for your support and stay tuned yeah see you guys
