    Default MSI GTX970 Fans won't turn off

    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.

    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.
