Question GPU fan runs at max speed for a few seconds, RPM and Fan Speed not consistent in GPU-Z ?

Hello, I have been facing an issue over the past few weeks.

GPU: RTX 2080 Ti

When I use 3D software like Unreal Engine or Blender, the GPU doesn't maintain a consistent speed. Instead, it suddenly peaks at maximum speed for a few seconds before returning to normal.

I can't find a solution using MSI Afterburner, as the RPM seems to be entirely independent of the settings.

I try to explain:
If I set the the fan speed at
30% the RPM is 1548 -
60% the RPM is 3003 RPM -
100% the RPM is 5007 - Screenshots below

Now let's jump on the issues:

You can see the RPM jumped to 5317 twice for few seconds while the fan speed is set is a 30% and it's a flatline, no peaks shown

same here, RPM at 5321 for few seconds but the fan speed is set at 65% doesn't show any changes

Afterburn controls the fan speed but not the RPM. What can I do to fix this issue, and what could be causing it?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Have you checked to see if the motherboard you have is pending any BIOS updates? Have you used DDU between the issue cropping and before creating this thread?

I would try and drop the GPU onto another (your friend's or your neighbor's)platform and see if the same issue crops up on your donor platform.

you've at hotspot 106,9 degrees
When this happens we usually have a problem with the currents, whether it comes from the graphics card or the power supply.
In no case do you mention which one is and which is the other and how old you have them

Hello,

I used DDU and installed a previous version of the drivers before posting in this forum, no luck

will check motherboard BIOS update asap

thanks!
