So, we bought a new graphics card some time ago (3070 Nvidia) and it hardly ever spun its fans. Only when my partner plays a game, the card started spinning. - Very recently though, i noticed that the card spins all the time in a weird on/off way - meaning the fans spin up fairly slowly, but stop again .. just to start spinning again. The card temperature seems to be at a constant 52 degrees C when i work on the computer (media consumption, Photoshop and writing)
We always had 2 monitors attached to it (2x 32 inch 60hz 4k monitors) - but recently attached a 165hz monitor to it because one of the older ones gave up.
Does the 165hz affect the graphics card so much that it needs spinning? And would it be better to turn the monitor to 60hz instead to preserve energy?
