Hello!
I recently bought a new GPU (INNO3D GeForce RTX 3080 ICHILL X4 LHR). However, while the three main fans are pretty quiet, there is also a small additional fan on the side where the LEDs are located. This fan is OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD, and I'm rather bummed because it's kind of ruining the entire card for me.
I tried changing fan speed with the likes of Afterburner and Fan Control, but while the three main fans on the GPU can be controlled, this one apparently cannot. BIOS has Smart Fan 5, but GPU doesn't show up on it. Basically, it looks like I'm out of luck if I want to do anything about it.
The weird thing is that the fan occasionally stops for a while after windows startup if I'm doing absolutely nothing on my computer, but as soon as I open any program, boom, back to full speed. No inbetweens.
Are there any options left? A piece of software that could help?
If I'm forced to unplug the fan, is this supposed to be a simple operation, as I've never done it before?
Thank you!
