Question 2080 fans ramps up to max speed whenever gpu hits 70 degrees celcius

[josh.springer24]

Whenever I'm in a more gpu intense game and my gpu hits 70 degrees Celsius the fans go crazy then slow down for a few seconds once it goes below 70. It will just continue this cycle while I'm in the game. I feel like I've tried every solution I've looked up but nothing seems to be working, it also just seems to ignore any fan curve I set.

pc specs:

• Gpu: Evga 2080
• CPU: amd 5600x
• Ram: 2x6 corsair dominator platinum ddr4 3000mhz
• motherboard: MSI MPG B550 gaming plus

Let me know if there is any other information that would be helpful.

Didn't work, still having the same issue.

Does it still ignore fan curves

Does it still ignore fan curves

ya, it seems like it will follow the curve until the fans are around 46% then won't change until the gpu hits 70 and then go to max speed. Msi afterburner and precision x1 both show the fans at 46% speed even when they ramp up to max speed.

That can be an issue there having two programs that will control the gpu can make it freak out only use one

It's been happening long before I had both software downloaded. Also, when I tried using msi afterburner after precision wasn't fixing anything I reset the settings and reboot anyway since I don't OC my gpu.

Actually this is pretty normal. This is most likely the factory default that EVGA set for its thermal limits. 70 degrees is a bit toasty and its not uncommon to see GPUs want to get cooler as soon as possible. Also it can be caused by a manually set Target Temp.

You could try setting the Target Temp in MSI afterburner to 85 degrees. See if that changes the erratic behavior.

Or if thats not the case, I fear it may have to do something with the memory modules overheating. The thermal pads maybe shot. When memory modules overheat, it is very normal for the GPU to bypass all software and go to survival mode. I do hope this isnt the case as youll need to open the GPU to inspect the thermal pads.

Best of Luck!
