Would you recommend keeping gpu fan @ 100%

What are your gpu temps with your fan at say.....50-60%? If you have to have your gpu fan at 100% to keep your temps in a decent range, then I'd say it's time to upgrade your gpu fan. You should never have to run it at 100% unless it's under high load.

Even them, most stock coolers can keep things under control unless you have ridiculously high ambient temperatures.
 
Video cards are okay if they run that hot

Your card can run up to around 125 degrees until it shuts down according to

Yea,
for my server computer's i turn the fan up to 100% beacuse i dont want it to overheat

SERVERS
1) HP LAPTOP (Turned 50-60% on Weekdays and On Sat,Sun its 100%
2) ACER DESKTOP. (100% Turned all Day 7 days a week)

I turn the Hp Laptop one on to 100% beacuse there are 6x more people connected to my server's than on normal weekdays! its wired!

and plus it lags a little bit so i have to turn it up.

So yea Depends

If its a Laptop then 35-60% MAX.
if its a Desktop Go up to 100% if you Wish.

Hope this Helped.
