In standard mode, the lighting is always on and the fans kick on at 60 degrees, causing a temperature spike because the cooling mechanism doesn't react instantly. In other words, the card is slightly fried as the machine's valves begin to operate. The lighting becomes monotonous after a while, and issues with temperature swings raise the question of how long the card will continue to function in this manner. MSI Afterburner controls the valves and other settings and the MSI Gaming App is required to disable the backlight. When both Aida64 and FanExpert are running, the temperature sensor measurements are inaccurate, as evidenced by the deletion of such readings from the Aida64 report and the occurrence of faults in the Asus FanExpert software. So, I let Afterburner handle the fan and driver while using the MSI LED Tool for the illumination. The exe tool was created over the hill by someone who had the same issues with Windows 10, and it launches at system startup rather than through the registry.
