Geforece 1080 GPU revs at random times.

[OCNewbee]

I set the fan curve on MSI afterburner and the GPU fan revs up randomly. Mostly, when it is over 60 C randomly.

The fan curve is set at 30% fan speed from 50 to 100 and my GPU stays at mid 70s when gaming.

So I am just scratching my head why my computer would rev randomly? At times, it does rev at 50 degrees but more frequently as the temp rise. From 0~60, it is set at 20%.

*FYI, I deshrouded and the fans are 120mm 25m Corsair LL fans.

 

1) the gelid GPU to PWM fan adaptor is broken

2) the fan curve chipset is broken

3) Nvidia control panel is interfering with the fan curve

 

These are the three suspects IMO.

What are your thoughts?

I think this is software more than hardware.

50-60C is usually the range for the "FanStop" feature which turns off the fans below the threshold and turn them on when above, so that might be interfering with your software, usually there is a BIOS switch on the board that puts the card in "high-performance" mode and disables FanStop

 

But yeah this is more likely a software issue not properly taking control of the card rather than a hardware one

I was not able to find fanstop on asus bios. Can u help me locate this?

I'm talking about the BIOS switch on the GPU itself, which you haven't mentioned, but if it's an ASUS GPU then I think it does have a physical BIOS switch

 

What's the model of the GPU?

The card does have a "FanStop" feature, and it's called 3D Active Fan, and it seems like you can disable it through their Aorus Engine software

 

I don't think the GPU has a BIOS switch, it's not listed on their webpage and manufacturers don't usually mention that which is annoying, but if you do find it, you can try switching it while the system is off

Here is how I solved it. I just connected to the GPU fans to the fan hub. (I just ordered corsair commander pro right now so hopefully, I can put them on a fan curve)

I tried installing gigabyte software (as you predicted, it had a feature that resembled a fan stop functionality) but it interfered with the afterburner pretty badly. Plus, the software was horrible for undervolting. My case fans are currently on 20%~30% and the temps are pretty good (Full load 72 C.). Thanks for the help again.
