Will be good to know more detail. What’s your gpu? Brand and model. What you using to monitor the fans? Msi Afterburner or something else

   @Whiro tag or quote will do the trick 

 

Steam Deck OLED 512gb , all other pc’s are gone

Sounds like they’re producing enough heat not under load that they can’t quite cool passively but there’s so little heat that even a brief burst of fan is enough to knock them down again.  Messing with ones fan settings could reduce this annoyance.  I’m betting it happens when the GPU reaches a specific temp.  One solution would be to set the fan curve such that it starts running before that point but only at an extremely low level. Then the fan won’t start and stop but will spin slowly all the time.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
