I've been testing out temperatures and fan speeds in my PC for a while now, and I only just realized that my GPU is the culprit for the ridiculously loud fan noise I've been experiencing. I thought it was my PSU's fan because limiting power in Afterburner seemed to be the only thing that helped. However, I recently downloaded some software that shows both the RPM of the fans as well as the fan speed (Afterburner only shows fan speed), and it turns out that my GPU fan runs at 4000+ RPM in most intensive cases. For instance, if I boot up pretty much any modern game and have the power limit in Afterburner set to roughly anything above 80%, the fan of my GPU will run at around 4000RPM. However, if I use a power limit of around 75%, my GPU fan goes back down to around 2300 RPM. Also, my GPU isn't running all that hot with or without the high RPM. The GPU doesn't break 80C, so I think the temperature of it is fine.
Is there any way I can get control over the RPM? Why would increasing the power limit make my GPU fan uncontrollable?
