My gpu fans have, at random occasions - perhaps once, twice, or zero times per day revving up for 1-5seconds during a gaming session to ~4270-4287 rpm for 1-5 seconds. This started about a week ago and scared the hell out of me.
The gpu (1080ti, aorus edition) is 7 years old, and the temperature outside (and in my room) has been quite hot recently which seems to coincide with the issue. I checked the temperatures when it happens and they don't seem out of the ordinary. I also set a slightly more aggressive fan curve using afterburner to see if it would help, but it hasn't.
Does anyone have an idea what's causing it to do this or is it an indicator that the gpu is dying?
Here's a pic of the HWmonitor info where the max RPM of 4287 can be seen. (current/min/max for columns)
