Posted October 19, 2021 I have a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050ti. When a HDMI cable is connected to it the GPU fan starts spinning despite the PC itself being still shut down. Also following shutting the PC down it just remains on until I remove the HDMI cable. If anyone can understand this...is this a genuine issue or is it fixable by myself?

Posted October 19, 2021 As in, the fans spin when the cable is plugged in? Probably the monitor is carrying just enough power over HDMI to spin the GPU's fans Laptops for sale: [FS] [US] Vintage laptop collection + parts - Classifieds - Linus Tech Tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 19, 2021 Author Yes only when its in. The HDMI is connected to a bi-direction switch too as my xbox is plugged into the same monitor. Could it be a combination of power running backwards along the cable so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
