Help with a fan issue.

Hey guys. I've been having an issue with my GPU fan. The card is a Gigabyte GTX 760, the one with three fans. When I first got I noticed while gaming and even under light load like watching YouTube the fans would go up to 100% then back down. I studied this and saw that it was only two of the fans that were spinning up to 100%. I disregarded it and it eventually stopped. A year later, it seems to have started again; with greater severity. If I play any game the fans will go to 100% no matter what. It's not constant, it's not predictable, it just happens. Any tips on how to fix?

Maybe the diodes to check temps are damaged or not working properly so the fans would ramp up to prevent any thermal issue?

Get msi afterburner and change your fan setting there maybe turning off automatic fan control will help.

Never thought of that nhatduy1611. As for the temperature sensors that means RMA incorporated. I don't think they're damaged.. I get temperatures that seem accurate in HW monitor.

Maybe it's between your card and the driver then?

And yeah, you should try a software like MSI afterburner or EVGA precision X that would help to set your fan control on manual.

Mkayyyyyyyyy. Just ran the Bioshock Infinite benchmark with MSI afterburner and a custom fan curve. Fans didn't go ape sh*t during the benchmark. I'll keep on using it, thanks!
