In my new rx480 the fans randomly ramp up for about a second to about 1300-1500rpm with no set interval. This happens even when i just leave the pc on the desktop with no programs running. My card is not overclocked and has the standard fan curve that came with the card. Also the gpu clock speed ramps up and down at random intervals while i am doing normal web browsing and things like that(from the minimum clock speed of 300mhz to about 800mhz or more). The speed spikes then immediately comes back down. I dont know if this is normal but it just seems like it is putting in a lot of work (that is inconsistent) for normal web browsing.
I am monitoring all of this with AMD wattman.
Thanks in advance!
