Wrong rpm in gpu fan control

Open Parideboy opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

As described in the title, there is something wrong when trying to control a gpu fan. The calibration of the fan seems correct:

But sometimes, out of nowhere, I get huge rpm spikes that exceed the calibration

The fans ramp up to 100% basically. I'm running a 4080 PNY

My previous Nvidia card did the same, usually out of 0 RPM, it would kick in with a very high speed for a short burst before going back down. I don't know exactly the purpose of it, maybe to kick dust out, but that seems to be built-in. That's not something FanControl has control over.

Thanks, would setting the curve to be in a 30% - 100% fix this "issue"?

I have a similar (but opposite) issue and I haven't found any way to solve it which is very frustrating as my card seems to be a good overclocker; Whatever I do I cannot get the fans to go above 2100 RPM; not with FanControl, OpenRGB, any nVidia application, ASUS Armory Crate and so on.

However, if I run it so hot that the regular GPU temp (not the hot spot) gets around 90-95 C the fans boost up to 2600 RPM if they are not controlled manually or by a third party software. Following this thread crossing my fingers :)
