Question on MSI GTX 980

[mnphokus]

I bought a MSI GTX 980 TI Gaming LE the other day and I noticed the fans don't run when I'm just browsing the net. But do come on when I play but it's super quiet.

This is vastly different from an MSI 580 GTX I had so I'm not sure if this is supposed to be this way or not.

Pretty much every non-reference card you can buy nowadays comes with a feature to leave the fans off until the core hits ~65c.

TL;DR

yes it's a feature

Its normal, nothing to worry about.

Sweet, thanks guys. I'm just not used to quiet video cards, lol.
