GPU fan speed question

I've noticed lately that my PC has been really loud, so i downloaded speedfan to see if anything was going wrong. One thing that immediately caught my attention was the fact that my GPU fan speed was almost 750,000RPM. Can anyone who has knowledge on this sort of thing please let me know!

 

GPU: Sapphire r7 240 2gb

750,000 RPM is insane. Is you pc flying out of your volcano?

It's just fairly loud that's all xD

Maybe it's the software giving me false info...

Yeah it'd exploded if the fans were going that fast...

750000 RPM would, as stated above, make your PC a good enough helicopter that you can go on any vacation you like, so long as you can hold the case whilst flying.

 

Washing machines spin on average 500-700RPM, just as a comparison.

 

Try MSI Afterburner to see if it will detect speed correctly.

Will that software work with my card?

It doesn't matter what card you have, it is called MSI afterburner because it is made by MSI and well optimised for MSI cards, but can be used perfectly well for reading fan speed.
