FINAL UPDATE: It was a faulty fan. I replaced the fan and the issue got fixed. -------------------- TEMPORARY SOLUTION: TICK "Force fan speed on each period" ON AFTERBURNER'S FAN SETTINGS. Issue persists after a restart. -------------------- Hello everyone, I am having a VERY weird problem with my GPU fan curve using MSI Afterburner. MSI GTX 1080 Armor, it has two fans. I had updated my drivers to 511.23. After this I noticed MSI Afterburner cannot control my right fan anymore. It's constantly at 100% while my left fan reflects my fan curve or whatever I set it to. I noticed the right fan only goes full speed when MSI Afterburner turns on at system launch. I've linked my fan settings in Afterburner. Issue persists even after rolling back to 472.12 drivers with DDU. What could be happening here? Edit: Apparantly not linked to Afterburner. Still investigating why... Edit 2: The fan ramps up as soon as the NVIDIA icon shows up on my taskbar. Some more trial and error shows the right fan ramps up to 100% as soon as I enable Afterburner's fan control. Edit 3: It's not just Afterburner, does the same thing when I change fan speed from FanControl as well. https://i.imgur.com/MAdReX2.png

I might be mistaken since there aren't many videos of disassembly for this particular GPU, but don't you also need to remove the heatsink to remove the part covering the fans? I'd rather not bother with re-applying the thermal paste unnecessarily.

I've already tried that to no avail sadly, only place I haven't cleaned is inside the fans and I'd have to disassemble the GPU to access those parts.

I'm having a weird problem with my GPU fans. The GPU is a MSI GTX 1080 ARMOR and the PSU is a Corsair TX750M. the GPU has two fans. the left fan can't spin to full speed and slows down on its own, like it struggles. The right fan cant start spinning on its own, I have to spin the middle with my finger and only then it stays spinning. These issues happen even with MSI Afterburner fans on 100% (the fans definitely don't run at 100% even after its set though). I'm only having fan issues with the GPU so I don't think it's a PSU problem. My guess would be the fan connector cable or just the fan bearings, I've already ordered new fans to replace but I wanted some thoughts from here as well. Thanks in advance.

I just tried it with a different PSU. Same results. I'm thinking either the second hand MB doesn't have its bios updated to support my CPU, or my CPU just randomly died. I don't think the bios being outdated is a possibility, because it's the same kind of boot loop like my old motherboard, which worked fine for a very long time. Did my CPU just randomly decide to die? I can't think of anything else. I tried with no RAM, no GPU, different PSU, different motherboard... Running out of options.

Hi. i7-4790k, G.SKILL RipjawsX 4x4GB DDR3 1600MHz, GTX 1080 here. PSU is Corsair TX750M. I first got the boot loop on a GIGABYTE G.1 Sniper Z97 motherboard. I suspected the problem was a corrupt bios. I took the PC to a repair shop and they also said it was a corrupt bios. It would work when they flash a new rom, but after shutting the PC on and off and on and off again it would get corrupt again and stop working. This led me to believe the problem was the motherboard. So I got a new one. Second hand from a trusted person. It's a GA-Z97-D3H. I assemble everything, clear CMOS, cables are tight, no problems... And the same thing happens. I press the power button, fans spin for 2 seconds, power shuts off and it loops. Forever. I suspected the second hand motherboard I got could have an outdated BIOS which would make it not work with my i7-4790k, but the exact same boot loop makes me suspicious... Could it be my PSU? Before the infinite loops started happening I would shut off the PSU for about 10 seconds, turn it back on and the PC would boot with no problem. In time, this stopped working. I'm at a loss for what to do. Any input would be appreciated.

Having a sound card or a DAC will always make your audio better. Onboard audio usually isn't very good.

I don't like AMD's drivers so I'd say go for the GTX 1650.

I'm looking to buy this monitor and I was wondering if there's a better or more preferable alternative at this price point, which is around $200 (US-based pricing). I live in Turkey and the price is 1400 Turkish Liras, which is roughly $244.16 (because of shipping and taxes). I plan on 1080p gaming. I have a GTX 1080 so I'm aiming for high framerates, with high refresh rates.

Your laptop is probably overheating and throttling, which reduces your performance. I would try undervolting or underclocking to reduce temps.

Get the RTX 2060 if you can afford it.

You should definitely try to lower it but 82C won't damage your hardware. Around 85C-90C I would start getting worried.

I would recommend you to check this list. Higher is better.

It has an i7-3630QM and a GT650M

Still works and nothing wrong with it. I have it since 2013.
