N.E.A Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I want to know when the fan starts spinning because mine seems to never spin according to GPU-Z. Temps get as high as 43 degrees Celsius and they never spin. What is the starting point at which the fans should start spinning? For reference, its a EVGA GTX 1070 SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulktreg Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Are you relying on GPU-Z to report fan speed or actually having a look at it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenkw0n Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Try MSI Afterburner too. I haven't had a graphics card that application didn't recognize. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 43 is super cold. I'd only worry if you break 80 C without them spinning up. A quick stress test will reveal one way or another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braegnok Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) With fans set in Auto, with most newer cards the fans will spin up in reverse a few seconds at pc start-up to clean out dust,.. then will start spinning-up when the GPU temperature hits 55C, they will continue to increase in speed in a linear fashion as load/temps increase.

cchalogamer Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) As mentioned above, nearly all new GPUs with non reference cooler will idle with the fans off by default. The temperature where the fans turn on varies greatly (my 1080 started up around 48C out of the box) and can be adjusted with something like EVGA PercisionX/MSI Afterburner if you would rather it never turn off the fans or start them at a lower temperature. Side note, 43C in GPU terms isn't high at all, Pascal isn't as heat friendly as some older GPUs, but still doesn't start dialing back boost clock until 82C-ish and wont drop below rated clock speed until you go well over that, something that the ACX cooler should keep you away from easily. (Last I checked no SC card with a blower cooler like the GTX 980 from EVGA) Edited August 23, 2016 by cchalogamer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encrypted_God Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Have you tried using the PrecisionX OC. ....Mine is currently running at 37c Edited August 24, 2016 by Encrypted_God Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
