Question I'm trying to set my GPU fan speed to 0 using MSI Afterburner but its not working ?

[eziowar]

Hi,
OS- Windows 11,
Mobo: Gigabyte B650M DS3H
CPU: Ryzen 5 7600
GPU: Asrock AMD RX 7800 XT Challenger OC

Afterburner versions tried:
Afterburner v4.6.6.16555 [Beta 5]
Had same issue with Afterburner 4.6.5 [Final])

i'm trying to set my GPU fan speed to 0 using msi afterburner, but its not working. in Hw monitoring you can see the minimum speed reached to 0 but it only happened for just for a second, but i want to keep my gpu fan speed at 0 up to a specific temperature. Just for testing I set the 0 speed upto 90c though i will change that later. the fan speed is stuck at 20% minimum. Please help.

Your GPU already has 0dB(A) Silent Cooling,
specs: https://www.asrock.com/Graphics-Card/AMD/Radeon RX 7800 XT Challenger 16GB OC/

So, what exactly are you trying to achieve?

Expand the temperature range when fans are stopped?
If so, Afterburner can't override GPU. Namely, GPU won't allow itself to be overridden, other than the default temp profile it has from the factory.

Check the "use firmware control mode" box. If your card supports it, you should be able to set a curve to the BIOS while keeping active the zero-fan mode of the card (fyi this mode typically requires to use only 3 nodes on the curve). Also uncheck the "overide zero fan speed with hardware curve".

tyvm, it has 0 rpm for sure and when i uninstall msi afterburner the fans stays 0 rpm in idle. but it never goes 0 rpm when i'm using msi afterburner .

Well, could be that GPU detects Afterburner and has a safe guard in place, which will disable Silent Fan mode. Since after all, Afterburner is used to OC the GPU and with OC, there are higher temps.

Did you try the firmware control mode?
