So I have an issue with my GPU fans ramping up to 3400RPM when the card hits 73°C.
Setting a custom fan curve or having a constant fan speed in Afterburner works fine until card gets to 73°C, then all the setting go out the window and the GPU sounds like it's about to take off to mars.. I went into details in THIS thread and after more testing, I wanted to be 100% sure there was nothing hidden in my system that was controlling the fans like a crypto miner/virus or a hidden fan control so I installed a fresh Windows without any bloat and no apps other than HWmonitor, MSI afterburner and FurMark and to no surprise, the results were the same. HERE you can see a gif of how I’m running a furmark stress test in the background and the fans stay at what I requested with the afterburner until the temps hit 73C after that RPM goes to 3400+. I don't know what else can I do as it would seem the card will run the fans this way no matter what I do. Is this a reason for me to contact ASUS and RMA the card?
