GPU Fan speed locked in Heaven Benchmark

[In3rt1a]

Hey guys,
currently having an issue undervolting/programming a custom fan curve for my sapphire 7970 ghz with Heaven. I used MSI afterburner to monitor fan speeds (and listened to my gpu fan) and figured out that when I use Heaven, it locks my gpu fan speed at 30%. As soon as I exit the benchmark, my fan speeds kick up because of the custom curve I made with trixx and things get noisy again. Anyone ever had this problem?

Hi.

Do you have any other software apart of Afterburner?

I use afterburner to monitor usage, fan rpm, etc and Sappphire trixx to adjust voltage, clock speed, and fan curve.

One other thing: I've never had any issues with coil whine before, but now that I have started undervolting, I have a little bit in Heaven and a LOT in 3dmark. I don't know about any games, haven't tested yet (and working from my laptop atm).

What happen if you uninstall Trixx?

Why would I uninstall trixx?

Install two programs that can control your GPU settings can give your problems, including that "fan lock" that you have.

The only issue is I can't lower voltage with MSI Afterburner like I can with trixx, so my temps will go up. Is there another program that is just for monitoring gpu usage and fan speed but without the OC functionality that Afterburner has? I'd rather keep trixx and uninstall Afterburner.

Afterburner does all them functions, I dont understand why you would have both? Just use one or the other IMO

Because trixx is allowing me to alter voltage, Afterburner isn't, and I already have my OC and fan curve setup with trixx.

So uninstall afterburner. You can monitor most of the sensors with GPU-Z

Maybe you can try with GPU-Z, show you almost all the settings that you need.

Uninstalled afterburner and got gpu-z, everything works fine now. Thanks!
