    When you play games you are using the GPU, the fan is built to keep things in the proper temperature range. Sounds pretty normal to me.

    Normal operating issue, nothing to worry about. FWIW, does your case breathe well? Have any/enough airflow coming in/out with casefans?

    The fan kicks on to 60% to cool the GPU back down to a lower temp, once that temp is reached the software reels it back down to 40%. You're just seeing it cycle a lot because the card keeps hitting the temperature threshold to cause it to kick the fan back up to 60%.

    And it has to be pretty hot to come off of 40% or so.
