Possible to turn off GPU fan? (Old GPU)

[harharhar]

I notice the new GPUs automatically switches off its fan at idle and low temp (60C?). Is it possible to set this on older GPU? Specifically my current MSI GTX760 Gaming.

On MSI afterburner, I can only set lowest 34% fan. Set any lower and the fan doesn't go below that still. Anyone knows if there's other software / firmware that allows this?

Now, my reason for trying to do this is to prevent dust build up. Given my case (SG13) where the GPU sucks air directly from the side. (Although I have magnetic filters on the vents). And anyway most of the time my GPU is idle, hovering about 35C with 34% fan.

i dun think so since that is a new tech which is controlled by hardware and software driver, so its pretty much cant do it, another way is to set to the lower fans speed if the temp is between 0 degree to 50 degree.

*PS: not sure if it even can work XD

low temp at the core doesn't mean low temp at the VRM

same apply to motherboard and PSU

I don't buy this ECO mode story .... must give minimal airflow to all parts

Actually there wouldn't be too much dust built-up even if the fans are stopped. So I suggest u keep the fan on.

Thanks for all the input. I guess it's not worth the effort at all then haha. Shall just keep cleaning the dust once in a while.
