need some help getting my GPU AIO running

[Mcneck]

Hello everyone,

 

System specs:

• Windows 10 64Bit
• AsRock Z790 pg lightning
• i7 14700k
• RTX 3090
• Alphacool Eiswolf 2 AIO

I recently purchased one Alphacool Eiswolf 2 GPU AIO (I bought some parts used, some new).

My issue currently is getting the fans on the radiator properly tuned. I have configured fan curves in my mainboard utility (Phantom Gaming Tuning) but somehow they get messed up completely all the time and I don't know why.

I tried setting the fan curves directly in the BIOS, but I cannot choose the GPU as the temperature input for the fans to orient their speed to, so thats super annoying.

Basically what would help me immensly, is some reliable software for fan tuning, that keeps its configuration and does not crash.

 

There is a slightly newer BIOS Version available for the mainboard, but I did update it a couple months ago, and I would like to explore other options before updating further.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

Been here (installed an Eiswolf2 on a 3080) done that : use FanControl, it allows you to use GPU temp (or any combo of any temps in reality) to drive fans

And btw the Eiswolf2 fans aren't very good, or rather they're pretty noisy, consider replacing them if you want a quiter rig

Use FanControl. All other software seems to be garbage

If the motherboard is not able to pull GPU temperature information, then you cannot use that to control the GPU AIO fans - some motherboards CAN.

You would need to have some sort of temperature detection + fan control within the Windows / OS environment, rather than in the BIOS firmware.

 

Normally, the GPU will report the temperature through the drivers / MSi Afterburner, etc. Then it controls the fan header on the GPU.

In you case, the GPU fan header doesn't do anything now....

 

As some have mentioned, you can try FanControl. https://www.argusmonitor.com/?language=en

Another software you can look into is Argus Monitor. https://www.argusmonitor.com/?language=en
