Fans not kicking in until 55 degrees

[Ssiss]

Hi guys. 

 

My aorus 2070 Xtreme fans do not start (nor do the rgb) until temps are around 55 degrees. Under load on heaven benchmark it got to around 70 degrees. 

 

I can adjust the fan curve on my desktop computer with direct pci e x16. However when using a razer core x I cannot. Anyone know the reason why? 

 

Do you think this would be a problem in the future if I just left the fan curve alone?

If they never came on until 70*c I'd call that an issue.
But 55*c,.. I wouldn't worry,..
When the GPU temp starts to climb,.. it's usually ALWAYS going to surpass that in a few seconds of any real GPU load.

Wouldn't worry. (Unless you prefer lower idle temps, not a worry more of a concern)

On my Asus Strix 1070ti, the fans aren't kicking in until 55°C.

So that value is totally normal for factory curve.

Note - Most GPU's have this as a feature for being Quiet on Idle.
You can use programs like MSI Afterburner to create your own fan curve and make 20-25% fanspeed from boot and idle scenarios kick in.

FYI - My Galax 1070 is at 35% fan speed right now (Desktop usage+Browsing)

 

I can't hear it though,.. so I don't mind. If it was audible,.. I'd lower it to near inaudible but prefer some airflow moving around...
Idle is now 36*c from 44-46*c with my Fancurve.
I don't need to, I want to.

i'd be more concerned with the RGB not kicking on till that temp, Zero Fan Mode is normally triggered around that temp but RGB should be on if the PC is powered on.

It definitely turns off. Do you think I need to install rgb fusion first?

RGB should be functional from the first time the card is inserted in the computer, it's not until you install the related software that you gain control of the RGB, but it should always be on. Is this happening when in the desktop or just in the external dock?

Just external dock

if the fans are not kicking in until 70c+ then it could be a sensor issue and might need to be sent for rma if possible

my evga 1080ti did the same. At first i let them run also in idle using afterburn, but then i thought that if the oem sold the card that way it shouldn't harm and got back to stock.

Soon after that i went for a custom loop so problem solved
