#3084067 - 08/31/10 09:18 AM GPU Fans running at 100% at Idle??
The Nephilim 3D GuRu Senior Member Registered: 01/26/02 Posts: 3544 Loc: 3rd Stone from the Sun !!	Hi, I have 2 7950GT KO by eVGA and I am having the Fans run at 100% all the time is this Normal?? I have the eVGA Precision tool for the GPU to OC and set the Speed of the Fan. I have the fan on Auto but it insists on running at 100% even thos the temps are only 51c and 46c?? Why is the fan running at 100% on Idle?? _________________________ Intel i5 2500k 4.50ghz / G.Skill RipJaws X 8gb / CM Hyper 212+ Heatsink & Fan / Asus P8Z68-V Gen3 Mobo / 2 Evga 480GTX SLI / RocketFish SC 7.1 / 3 - Sharp DLP XR-10XL's / 3 - 45" Screens w/Screen Goo / nVidia 3D vision / Win7 64bit OS / ThrustMaster Cougar HOTAS / Cougar MFD's / CM HAF 932 Full Tower / nVidia 3D Vision / Thrustmaster MFD's

It will let you set the speed of your fan according to temp of the GPU so you can set it to like 40% when the card is idling and then 80% when the card reaches whatever temp you specify. It's all on a graph too so it's easy to set. Voltage adjustment is a possible too for overclocking. Works on just about any brand card. http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm _________________________ MSI P55-GD65 with i5-750 @ 4.0Ghz vcore 1.370 Xigmatek Balder HS/2 120mm fans, Antec EW PSU EA750 750W GSKILL Ripjaws 2x4Gb DDR3 1333 One 2Tb Seagate LP, two 1.5Tb LP Seagates Gigabyte GTX 460 1Gb OC to within an inch of it's life Lite-On 24X DVD burner, LG 12X Blu-Ray burner COOLER MASTER Storm Scout Win 7 Pro 64 Lots of fans spinning with little LED lights blinking www.razzledazzleart.com http://texascbx.blogspot.com/

Dirt_Diver Member Registered: 07/11/09 Posts: 1715	Maybe try RivaTuner v2.24c (latest) ... http://downloads.guru3d.com/RivaTuner-v2.24c-download-163.html It's not the easiest to use but it does a good job. I have mine set to increase and decrease my fan according to temp. There's one or two good tutorials on how to use it out there on the interweb. _________________________ \|\| Intel Quad Core Q9550 @ 3.7GHz \|\| nVidia GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB \|\| 8 GB Corsair DDR2 \|\| Win 7 64bit \|\| \|\| Logitech G500 Mouse \|\| Logitech Driving Force GT Racing Gear \|\| Saitek Pro Flight Yoke/Quadrant \|\| Saitek X52 Pro Hotas \|\| TrackIR 5 \|\|

AggressorBLUE Member Registered: 12/15/09 Posts: 1315 Loc: South East PA	You might be experiencing what happened to my old XPS gen 2's 6800. The rpm sensor for the fan was blown, so when it goes to spool to say, 20%, the card keeps "waiting" to see the fan respond, but will never know that it's blowing at full clip. Did the card come with any diagnostic software? _________________________ My Rig:AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition OCed@3.8 GHz/GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 AM3 AMD 890FX Mobo\ MSi AMD 6950 2GB \ 8 Gigs of G.skills Ram\Storage: WD Black 750 GB HDD\All held together by: Coolermaster HAF 932 case Other Assets Deployed: HOTAS: Logitech G940 CH FighterStick/Pro-Throttle/Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals Wheel: Fanatec 911 Turbo S w/ Playseats Racing Seat.
