Posted January 18, 2017 I was working on homework with my desktop on with a browser tab open, nothing was actively running on my desktop and it had been idling for a while but all of a sudden, my gpu fans spin up to 100% which is freaking loud. It does so for about 5 seconds then stops. It has then repeated every minute or so with out any load being on the gpu core, I have open harware monitor running showing usage and temps. Nothing out of the ordinary except for the fans. This is really distressing any help would be appreciated, thanks! XFX RX470 RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 18, 2017 Check the temps, if they are all right, just adust the fan curve, if not, you may have problems colling the card, airflow, heatsink position,bad termal grase.

Also check your fan speed control when it is set to automatic. You could also reinstall the drivers, maybe there is a corruption.

It's on the factory default fan curve, and temps are not anything more than what i usually have. Its a newish card, around 1.5 months of relatively light use so a little unexpected, and it was fine up to about an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using open hardware monitor and I have AMD's own wattman integrated into crimson both showing average gpu temps, nothing out of the ordinary. Fan speeds are on the automatic curve. 3 minutes ago, Mike87 said: What OS are you using? Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 18, 2017 I would say it's the same as it was with my R9 390 nitro GPU. It probbably have feature that will turn off fans as long as your GPU is under 50°C. So in your case temperature gets over 50°C, causing fans to start spinning and cool it down back to 45°C or something, then spin again when it reaches 50°C. Just a wild guess.

Posted January 18, 2017 Latest Windows 10 update completely ruined my GFE software and brought freezes while in games. Had to re-install to fix the problem, maybe try re-installing your drivers altogether. Also make sure nothing is blocking any of the GPU fans. If one get blocked the other will run at 100% as a failsafe. And make sure the power cables are connected firmly. ~ Specs bellow ~ Windows 10 Pro 64-bit [UEFI] CPU: Intel i7-5820k Haswell-E @ 4.5-4.7Ghz (1.366-1.431V) | CPU COOLER: Corsair H110 280mm AIO w/ 2x Noctua NF-A14 IPPC-2000 IP67 | RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 4 32Gb (8x4Gb) DDR4 @ 2666mhz CL15 | MOBO: MSI X99S Gaming 7 ATX | GPU: MSI GTX 1080 Gaming (flashed "X") @ 2138-2151Mhz (locked 1.093V) | PSU: Corsair HX850i 850W 80+ Platinum | SSD's: Samsung Pro 950 256Gb & Samsung Evo 850 500Gb | HDD: WD Black Series 6Tb + 3Tb | AUDIO: Realtek ALC1150 HD Audio | CASE: NZXT Phantom 530 | MONITOR: LG 34UC79G 34" 2560x1080p @144hz & BenQ XL2411Z 24" 1080p @144hz | SPEAKERS: Logitech Z-5450 Digital 5.1 Speaker System | HEADSET: Sennheiser GSP 350 | KEYBOARD: Corsair Strafe MX Cherry Red | MOUSE: Razer Deathadder Chroma | UPS: PowerWalker VI 2000 LCD Mac Pro 2,1 (flashed) OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan 64-bit (NAS, Plex, HTTP Server, Game Servers) [R.I.P] CPUs: 2x Intel Xeon X5365 @ 3.3Ghz (FSB OC) | RAM: OWC 16Gb (8x2Gb) ECC-FB DDR2 @ 1333mhz | GPU: AMD HD5870 (flashed) | HDDs: WD Black Series 3Tb, 2x WD Black Series 1Tb, WD Blue 2Tb | UPS: Fortron EP1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
