Strix 1080 Ti Fan Problem

[Hoff9zu0]

Hi guys. I just noticed my Fans are ramping up and down every like 10 seconds. I didnt have the problem yester day.

 

Doesnt matter how i set the curve (see screenshots) 

 

Pls help me

[Hoff9zu0]

Only thing that works is manual setting. Means i can only choose one % that will be running the whole time.

So are you referring to the dips when they kick on and off? So when the fan reaches the temp you put, they kick on, once they are on the gpu drops below the the temp they should be on. Make a better profile. 

[Hoff9zu0]

No. The card doesnt even reach 60c for instance. It kicks on and off even when i set it to 0%.

 

As you can see in the screenshot. For example : i sset 60c = 40%

the card doesnt pass 56c and still kicks on.

Well you set the point where the fans turn on right to the temperature where tha card seems to idle. so the card heats up, fans go on , card cools down, fans go off, and so on. Set the turn on point lower or a bit higher.

oh okay I see. Do you have multible pieces of software that control fan speed? sometimes they interfere and cause problems. Also try a simple driver reinstall.

[Hoff9zu0]

No im only Using gpu tweak 2... And whenever the fans woudln't normally spin, they kick on and off.

I had Fan speed on auto since i got the card 2 weeks ago. And no it just doesnt stay at 0% but would always jump up and down.. Idk why.

I just played an hour of pubg and everything works fine but when the card would normally idle at 0% it just does this on and off thing.

well as I said, try driver reinstall, or did you already?

[Hoff9zu0]

do you mean the gpu driver? I just installed a new nvidia game ready driver.

oh and also gpu tweak ist really not that good maybe use afterburner instead.

[Hoff9zu0]

The GPU is at 0%.. I just read that there might be a bug with multiple monitors. I got 2. But I use them for a week now without any problems.

I think im gonna take the 2nd one off now and see what happens.

[Hoff9zu0]

Well yeah.. i took off the 2nd monitor and its idling at 48 fix now. No fan juggling anymore.

 

Damnit. Seems to be true that there are bugs occuring with multiple monitors and the gtx 1080 ti.

yah, that sucks. But I still recommend you use afterburner instead of gpu tweak II maybe if you override the fancurve there it wont go on and off.

[Hoff9zu0]

Doesn't go on and off anymore. It's an nvidia issue. I use a 144hz monitor and one 60hz monitor. I set the 144hz one to 120hz and now everythings finde. idle at 45-50c.

 

So to anyone with this problem: Its the use of multiple monitors that causes it. It's a known issue and hasn't been fixed yet, unfortunately.

 

Thanks for your help!

gpu usage may be low but if that's youre memory being used, that's the cause. My cards used to run with the memory maxed out and idle at 60c.
