980 TI Strix 60 degrees AFTER gaming only

[Chukanukah]

NZXT H440
Intel i7 4790k @4600mhz
Corsair H100i GTX
Asus z97-a
8gb hyperx 1600mhz ram
Asus 980TI strix OC

So, when I turn on my pc, my cpu and gpu temps are about the same, in the 20-30 degree range, and they pretty much stay in that interval until I start playing a game. The GPU reaches up to 75 degrees on 98% load in games like GTA V, my problem is that once I close the game, my GPU stays at about 60 degrees, my CPU goes down to a normal temperature though. I've used multiple different programs for measuring temperature, they all say the same thing. If you're familiar with the strix series, you know that there is a 0 db fan setting, but when its sitting at 60 degrees, only one fan is running, the far left one, the other 2 are stationary, does anyone have any idea whats going on here?? Any help is extremely appreciated. Here's a screenshot if that helps. http://i.imgur.com/yg8PcA1.jpg

well based in what I am gathering this is simply the 0db feature in action, the card is not over 60C, so it does not spin its fans. are all the fans running at full load when it is over 60C?

I have my own fan curve for the card, and they should I already be spinning, and when I open GPU tweak, the far left fan spins, when it is closed, none of them spin

so at full load only one fan is spinning? then that is an issue with the fans or the card.

this is very odd, If I have the fan curve start at a temperature above what the gpu is currently at, the far left fan spins regardless, If the card reachers a temperature on the curve, all the fans kick in

look at my most recent post, I think it's software related

yes it would seem so. the question though is where is the issue lying? try disabling the custom fan profile what happens?

now with the default profile, the fans are actually off when theyre supposed to be and on when theyre supposed to be, I cranked them up to 100% really quick to see if the temperature would drop, and it did, down to about 40 degrees, but its steadily increasing as we speak, It will probably stop at 60, I dont think im confortable with an idle temp of 60 degrees, however, as a side note, whats a temperature that I should try to stay away from, if the card is meant to be idle at 60 degrees, than I guess that's ok, but I want to be sure i don't wear out my components

yeah those cards will sit happily at 60C I personally wish they did not, but I do not think such a feature would be included if it could noticeably harm the card's life span. for that card 85C is getting toasty. try to keep it below that.

ok cool, thank you so much btw, It seems that the auto and manual fan modes work, but the custom one, no matter what I put it at, doesnt spin the fans at all, Im probably going to go searching for a different software, GPU tweak isnt very intuitive, I think I can take it from here

 

[Robert Cook]

yeah I personally like MSI afterburner. GPU tweak angers me.
