Problem with graphics card fans

[Siryou]

hello I have a problem with my rtx 3070 when I open a game and demand workload fans go crazy go from 2900rpm to peaks of 3900, I do not know that it can be some idea, the graphics have something more than two years thanks

Well, if your GPU is hot enough surely the fan will try to cool it down by ramping up. No?
Anyway... what's the temp ?

You can go about this in a few different ways - but let's first explain what's going on:

 

Modern PC componets have a variable fan speed setting which idles at lower RPMs when the component is not being utilized a lot and thus not getting heated up, but when the component goes over a certain temperature treshold the speed can ramp up.

 

Now usually this is gradual and even at higher loads in a well ventilated case the component (in your case GPU) should not be very loud because silence is one of the factors when cooling is designed (cooling perfomance being the prevalent factor though - or so you would wish). Also depending on the GPU model and the manufacturer the fans may be more efficient and more numerous.

 

Suffice to say 2 fans on a smaller radiator/heatsink would have to spin faster to achieve the same cooling as 3 fans on a bigger radiator/heatsink on a more expensive model.

 

As mentioned above the PC case also is a key factor here, a case that is restricted may force the fans to work harder under load.

 

--------

Depending on all this yours might be one of several cases:

 

1. A loud GPU model with 2 fans and a steep ramp up curve

2. A restricted PC case that makes components struggle for air and thus force the fans into extreme RPMs to try and cool the components

3. A bad fan curve on the GPU (or a driver that modifies this fan curve) that unnecessairly ramps up the fans too much or too early.

 

-----------------

 

The first thing to test as mentioned by @Poinkachu would be whether your tempteratures are fine. There are plenty videos on YouTube on how to do this with software like HWInfo or GPU-Z. Once you figure that out you could use something like MSI Afterburner to play with the fan curve and figure out if you can lower the fan RPMs while maintaining GPU performance.

 

If you can't I would figure out whether your case, cable management or something else is restricting the airflow around the GPU and would try to improve that with a mesh-ier case, a mesh side panel instead of a temper glas for example - or adding more case fans etc.

The problem is that it happens to me a few months here, before I did not do the only thing I have installed on my own have been two RAM modules. My box is the Sharkoon Pure Steel Temperatures range from 70 -75 degrees but the fans go to 3900 rpm occasionally when maximum range is supposed to be 3000rpm

You can also post some pics so people can actually see how you have things setup. We don't where you mounted fans or know if you mounted them correctly as intake or exhaust.

Did you set up a fan curve of sorts? Which specific model of 3070? What app did you use to monitor these RPM rating?

 

Also remember to press quote to get a response from someone. @Poinkachu

Almost 4000 RMP is too much. 

 

Try this:

1. Set the fans speed to 100% and look at the RPM without gaming or putting any load, is it below 3900 RPM?

2. Now set the fans speed to automatic, play a game or start a benchmark, such as furmark, so it goes 3900RPM, how much % will it show?

 

If 1. is a yes, and/or 2. is below 100%, the thermal paste is the problem, very probably! 

[Siryou]

thank you very much and discovered the problem, disassemble the card and vualaaa there was no thermal paste, after two years and little use at medium-high range.now the fans work as before thanks for the help to all
