39c is minimum with a 19% fan speed (~980RPM). ~3.2K RPM is 100% which is what it jumps to from ~40% during the spikes. I managed to solve it by uninstalling RivaTuner and deleting its registry keys. For anyone who might have this problem in the future. You need to delete the "Unwinder" folder in regedit after uninstalling RTSS.

Yeah I am able to adjust the fan curve and it works most of the time however, this maxing out happens at a stable temp of 63-64c as well. However, Afterburner does not read a maxing out of the fans during the (I’m calling it a) bug. I read a bit more into it and it seems like RivaTuner might have something to do so I’ll do a clean un/install. I have a second monitor to monitor the temps at all times and they are stable 73c in Destiny 2 with an uncapped frame rate. This is the only problem I’ve had so far with the card 3 years into its lifetime.

They’re not *reaching* max rpm, it goes from 40% to 100% with no change in temperature and it stays like that for like 5 seconds at a time before going back to what Afterburner reads.

Here's 2 different fan spikes. As you can see the temperatures are fine under load but it spikes to 100% and it's not reported in MSI Afterburner, it thinks it's still at a low RPM even though it's at 100%. This isn't about temps.

I have a RX 580 (Sapphire Nitro+ 8GB) and I recently switched to a Ryzen build with a new motherboard. Everything has been fine and the performance has been great but the fans seem to max out randomly for no apparent reason now. The card never goes above 74C at most but the fans max out randomly between 63 and 74 degrees for no real reason. The temperatures are in check and the fan curve doesn't allow that so, why is this happening? Edit: I managed to solve it by uninstalling RivaTuner and deleting its registry keys. For anyone who might have this problem in the future. You need to delete the "Unwinder" folder in regedit after uninstalling RTSS. Do a clean Afterburner uninstall and install again without RTSS.

just to clarify, the extra thermal paste wasn't in the socket.

Update: Just reinstalled the CPU, no bent pins, everything was fine, just a little extra thermal paste that had made its way to the motherboard. Cleaned everything up but it didn't do anything to help with the RAM problem. I did take out the battery while doing all this so the CMOS did reset. BIOS is the latest version already. Might have to just return both CPU and MoBo since I can't identify which one is the faulty one.

In case I find a bent pin what should I do?

I recently upgraded to Ryzen 5 3600X and while I was installing my old 2133MHz RAM I noticed that the B channel didn't work so I had to put up with it running in single channel. I brushed it off as it just being a Ryzen thing and ordered a set of 2x8GB Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 (3200MHz 16-18-18-18-36 1.35v) which arrived today. When I went to install them I noticed that my system still didn't post with them in the dual channel position and they're currently in single channel (A). Specs: Ryzen 5 3600X 2x8GB CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 (3200MHz 16-18-18-18-36 1.35v) RX 580 8GB CX750M PSU Asus Prime X570-P Things I tried: Trying every stick in every slot; both sticks work but only in the A channel. Trying both sticks in every possible combination; only both of them in the A channel worked. Extra info that might help: The motherboard has 2 12V CPU power connectors, one for a 4+4 cable and another 4. I currently only have one cable for the 4+4 connector, maybe the other connector provides extra power for those things? Another thing I want to ask is, does it really matter that much? I live in Mexico and having to return things in here is way too much work so if the real world performance difference isn't that drastic it might not be that big of a deal.
