RTX 2060 Idle Noisy Fans

[Cholax]

I just assembled my first build and installed Windows.

Ryzen 2600X, B450 Tomahawk and iGame RTX 2060.

 

Everything was smooth. I start windows and start installing things.

Windows pops a message that it is installing stuff. OK.

After some time the GPU goes crazy. I see Nvidia Control Panel appearing on the side (windows installed it, not me). Tried restarting, the instant windows appears on the screen the fans go like crazy.

 

Reinstalled windows. Again, no noise. Installed Geforce Experience. Control panel installed by windows, noise again. I remove everything but Geforce Experience (even drivers), no more noise. Tried installing drivers from iGame page, not only the installation fails but by 60% the fans kick again.

 

According to HWInfo

GPU Temp 28C.

GPU FAN0 1100 RPM.

It could be a general defect w/the card itself, since they're not even supposed to spin until they've hit a certain thermal threshold, which's usually around 60c.  I've never heard of iGame, so it could be a conflict w/the Drivers.  You can download the newest or second newest Drivers, DDU the old ones, then restart w/your computer not connected to the internet to manually install the drivers yourself w/out Windows auto-downloadin them.

Check CPU-Z to see if your Graphics Card is bein recognized properly, too.

Asian brand.

 

The thing is they dont start until the drivers get partially installed. The card is recognized properly.

Try older drivers to see if it corrects the issue as a test

Turns out i am a crappy builder and some cables were touching one of the GPU's coolers. Moved the cables and no more sound. I got to improve in cable management.
