Thanks but the pc was already running a 3770 and a 1650 super LP so pretty sure it's at its limits! To update fan was sent and they had no problems installing it and have had no problems of the sort since.

That's great, didn't know if it would be expensive to replace and those instructions are brilliant, thanks so much

Good idea! I will ask, thank you

Recently upgraded an optiplex 7010 sff system for someone, temperature and stress tested and everything was fine. However a few weeks later they're having problems with a "rear fan failure" error message happening on boot. It only happens some of the time, and causes the fan to not run when it...

Everything has dropped at least 5 degrees with the intake fan and the whole system is loosing heat when coming off of load much quicker, great advice thanks!

Ok thanks that's really helpful info, like you say hopefully one fan will be enough or it should at least improve the situation a bit. I was thinking mount the front intake fan low to push cold air over the GPU? The ryzen 1600 in the system is rarely fully pegged unlike the GPU and it's right by...

So it turned out it was just the six screws at the back of the card I needed to take off like you said, was pretty easy! Thermals are a bit better with some mx4 applied, coupled with a 950mV undervolt running at ~ 85-95w everything looks good. I could get it a bit lower I think, but would rather...

Oh really ok, I'll try that thanks

Yeah I'm thinking I might do this. Was trying to avoid it as the Gigabyte 4g model I have has four really awkward screws on the shroud that you have to access through little gaps, making it easy to loose the screws etc, however I think it is probably a good idea. Thanks again!

Ok great news, to be honest I had no idea auto voltage altered from those set states and that was its own independent setting. Thanks for your help, will report back and let you know how the undervolting goes, might even try a slight overclock to around 1350ish at the voltage im currently...

Ah ok this makes sense, i never tested stock with wattman, but with the undervolt as mentioned the voltages shown were actually even lower than 1075 (around 1030-1055). So the problem here is that I essentially haven't got to the point at which I'm undervolting compared to auto and need to take...

Fan and temps are pretty much exactly the same as at stock. Both GPUz and Wattman report these wattages. I'm using heaven benchmark to test. The frequency set in state 7 is 1244 Its default voltage is 1150mV

Just ran a test with all states lower than 1075 and I'm having similar results, core clock jumps around in th low 1200s utilisation also goes from 90-100. 112w power usage. Like I say stock is about 105w. Vram voltage is stock at 900mV. Not sure what you mean by % or dynamic frequency, I am...

Ah my mistake, and yes I have just briefly read it through. It looks like I have skipped the memory voltage aspect of the undervolt. Could this be acting as a lower limit for my GPU core voltage as you discuss in the guide? This still doesn't explain the higher wattage though

Thanks for the reply, I am using Radeon adrenaline 2020 that comes with the drivers for both monitoring and changing settings I assume that is the newer equivalent of wattman? Would it be better to use something like hwmonitor for monitoring? I'll be honest im a bit confused by your response, I...
