If the monitors are off, like when I'm sleeping/away from my computer, the GPU drops all the way down to about 20-23 Celsius. Right now I'm not gaming but due to dual-monitors forcing my GPU to have the core speed at the high setting (880MHz in my case, I saw no reason for the OC anymore since SW:TOR is a cake walk for the 560 Ti at 1080p) the fan is at 40% and my GPU is at a cool 37 Celsius. So if the GPU is at 60 Celsius, the fans go at 60% and keep it perfectly stable.

I have my MSI Afterburner set to make the fans be at 40% (they won't go lower) till it hits 41 Celsius, which is where it starts going up 1% speed per degree Celsius.

They WILL get loud at 100% speed and just because you're gaming doesn't mean you need to have the fans running at 100%, as games like WoW, SW:TOR, and many others don't even work the GPU that hard and thus won't even put it anywhere near dangerous temperatures. Just go to Settings, User Interface, and select one of the many pre-loaded themes.Running a 560 Ti MSI TFII/III fan at 50% all of the time or just letting it do its own thing, is personally, the optimal choice. If the default layout is not good enough for you, you can also change that. Those are called "profiles." Basically, whatever tweaks you do to your GPU, you can save them as a profile so you can just click it and quickly apply it at any time. Then, the right side has a bunch of numbers. From there, we have the settings button and the "monitor" button, which will show you a graph of your graphics card's temperatures. From there, we have the OC Scanner tool, which is meant to automatically scan your GPU (using an algorithm made by Nvidia for RTX 20 series cards) and look for the highest possible overclock and apply that to your GPU. The spaceship-looking logo will open the Afterburner website, the "K" logo will open MSI Kombustor, the information button will show you information about your CPU and GPU. On the left side, you're going to see several buttons. Related: How to Safely Stress Test Your Overclocked CPU, GPU, and RAM
