Zero RPM problems

[rx590overclocker]

My GPU has Zero RPM on so it runs without fans for a few minutes at idle, then suddenly turns the fans on super high for a few seconds and turns them back off again.  It is insanely annoying, I can hear it from multiple rooms away even with the TV on.  Radeon software has a setting for zero RPM, and i have tried turning it off, applying changes, and saving the profile.  I walk away and hear it making the awful an noise again.  I am super stumped, but i am not sure i can take this noise much longer.

It's probably engaging the fans once it reaches a temperature set by the manufacturer but once it gets to it it cools down only for it to get to that temperature again in some time

But it shouldn't engage at max RPM usually they start from 1000RPM and ramp it up accordingly to temperature and they are silent

A friend of mine solved by setting it to low speed with MSI Afterburner when he isn't using it for gaming or heavy workload

Aight, I am gonna try something.

Just set a custom fan curve in Afterburner like @Jenko32 said.

Have something like this:

 

 

Keep it at a low rmp till you want the card to ramp up.

Don't copy mine, since it's for a 390 and they run pretty toasty

lol the space heater card.

It will reach 75ish c even at full 100% fan speed, sometimes it gets near the 80s. With the stock fan curve I was in the low 90s

 

At least is not that loud lol

lol.  some 390s are loud.  like jet engine loud.

my gtx 1070 had the same problem was never able to fix it. But the fans where also terrible. so, i decided to remove the fans/shroud and zip tie 2 x 120mm fans to the gpu heatsink. You can connect standard fan to the gpu header with an adapter, but i just connected the fans to the motherboard and offset the curve for the header. i love it. way better temps, way less noise, and way better OC now.

If you do it right you can make it look really good too. got questions, just let me know

ive been thinking of ghetto cooling solutions for it for a while.  Here are some of them.

CPU cooler on GPU

CPU water cooler on GPU

Aftermarket GPU cooler

it works well, but the downside can be big. they take a lot of space. Mounting can be challenging  not so much attaching, but making sure certain things are not touched by the cooler and mounting pressure. To loose = bad performance to tight = cracking the die(gpu has not heat spreads like the cpu does). weight. mosfets and vram cooling could be better depending on the cooler used and if there is added heatsinks for the mosfets and vram

they actually make attachment to use an aio on gpu's. the G12 is one the better ones. it works well but depending on the may need to mod the attachment and run into the same issue with vram and mosfet cooling

there are several, but the best ones that i know of are the Accelero and the morpheus. morphues does come with heatsinks for the vram and mosfets, but the are good if you choose it i wouldn'e even use them, but the cooler is massive and designed to use 120mm.

 

 

personal do to lack of cooling vram and mosfets with other cooling and cost, is why i decided to zip tie 120's to the stock cooler.
