Radeon 6800 Fans aren't hitting 100% load

LJA · October 30, 2021

Hi, I have a ref Radeon 6800 model, an Asrock one, not AMD.

The thing is that recently is hot down here and I've noticed that my GPU FANs doesn't hit the 100%. The max I've seen it goes it's 88%, around 2930 rpm.

Maybe this GPU model doesn't have more RPMs in it? I can't find the specs of this model fans

Or maybe It's a bug in the software?

I need the fans to go to the max with my current ITX case and current ambient temps. I'm hitting 80° in my rig and I normally deal with 74° max with my typical VGA fans curve.

Thanks in advance! Any kind of help or guidance would be helpful

Most likely they are spinning as fast as they can and just reporting wrong. The graphics card monitors and cools itself and just tells the readout to the rest of the computer most times. The temp that you are getting, is that reported by the sensors on the boards or are you measuring it another way (infrared thermometer)?
