Question -HELP NEEDED- GPU makes overheating noise on startup

[chewy123]

My GTX 1660 SUPER (ASUS TUF 6GB) makes an "overheating" noise on startup despite being not being close at all to the overheating tempturtares, however it will randomly just make the overheating noise and restart the whole computer. I've had this GPU for 3 years and recently i had to get a new motherboard and new cpu, and this only happened after i got those two new componets, however even switching to an old cpu and motherboard it still does this, someone please help

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (orginal to build, new, refurbished, used? History of heavy gaming use?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Provide more description regarding the "overheating noise". How soon after startup does the noise occur? Is the time consistent or varying?

Are you able to pinpoint the location of the noise?

CPU : RYZEN 4600G running at 4.2ghz nomrally
GPU: 16606G SUPER
RAM: 2400mhz ram But it is around 5-6 years old
MOBO: ASUS PRIME A520M
2TB HDD
480 SSD (OS IS INSTALLED HERE, OS IS WIN 11 AND SSD IS NEW)
120GB M.2 SSD
PSU: TT 700W around 1 week old now.
The "Overheating noise" is like the fans blowing at their maximum speed before the computer resets. The noise is consistent at every single start or reset. the noise is coming from the gpu.

As I understand the description it could be a thermal shutdown.

3 year old GPU - may need a new application.

So i have to reput thermal paste on my gpu? Ill try that. I didnt include this in the orginal post but sometimes my video stops working along with audio and i have to restart? do you think thats also the cause?

My ancient RX580 spins its fans up to full speed shortly after switching on the PC. They remain at full speed until the Windows desktop appears. All quite normal on this machine.

The GPU BIOS is testing the fans at startup to see if they still spin up to maximum speed (possibly a calibration phase). From then on, GPU fan speed is dependant on chip/RAM temperatures.
