AFAIK we were referring to catastrophic conditions. MSI Afterburner is excellent for controlling fan speed and thus temps under normal conditions. The EVGA tool only works for a very limited number of GPUs. TThrottle is a latter line of defense in case of some fan failure or extremely hot weather. It works. Regards/Ed Adding a case fan or two might also help!
