GPU tweaked itself lol

Discussion

Was gaming last night, a game I haven't played for a while and was greeted with crispier graphic quality than Im used to seeing, also got my headset on. About 15 minutes in I glanced on the display inside my rig and surprised to see GPU rpm is at 2,500+, temps are fine tho -- gpu temps at 55-60c and hotspot is at 60-65c and board power was reaching 170w.

Would've felt fine leaving it as it is but when I took off my headset it sounded like a Boeing 787 taking off, I've never heard it that loud before so I immediately got out the game to calm it down i guess. I googled and says its normal for the fans to reach said rpm but I felt like it's going to kill my gpu prematurely -- looked at adrenaline and found power limit is up +10% from my previous setting -15%. Fan speeds were also somehow different, realized it copied a tuning profile from my other game.

Re-tweaked it all back to my prev settings and everything is back to what it used to be, 1800-2100 rpm on fans (very quiet) and temps at 55-65c both gpu and hotspots. Not a big deal imo just wanted to share. Also wondering if its "really fine" having my fans run at that RPM for a few hours of gaming.
