Does anyone know why my fans of my gpu keep spinning full throttle?
They should only start spinning when the temp of my gpu exceeds 60°C (zero frozr)
its a new gpu (last thursday complete my first build)
since i am new to pc-builds i surely appreciate some help
specs:
mobo: asus maximus VIII Hero
cpu: I5 6600k
cpu cooler: noctua D15
gpu: msi gtx 970 oc series
ram: corsair 16G 2133 (2*8) vengeance
ssd: 480gb
psu: corsair CS550M
thanks
Have you installed the drivers that come with the graphics card?
For example,
I can toggle mine off and on from the driver installed.
You should be able to go into advanced settings and toggle it on and off and how powerful you want it.
If you ever see Shadow online, ask him. He's quite the computer wiz.
i installed everything that came with the gpu...Quote:

anyways thanks 4 the advice!
Are you running Afterburner or anything like that on your machine? The fan over-ride could be set on it.
What card were you using previously? It's possible that it's a driver leftover that's causing problems so running Display Driver Uninstaller (Formerly Driver Sweeper) http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/...-download.html could clean any residue out that's giving you headaches.
all new components... 1st build ever ;)Quote:

thanks
no overrides active
just saw that it is only 1 fan that keeps spinning...
You can try downloading and installing NVidia Inspector and checking the fans. It's possible that there's a vBIOS problem and this will allow you to override that using an actual NVidia product to do so.

You could also check to see if it's a static charge in a capacitor that's causing it. Unplug your system from the wall, press and hold the power button on the machine for 30 seconds to drain the capacitors. When you do this you might want to open your tower and reseat your GPU just to be sure.
Let me know if any of this works.
none off the above worked...Quote:
