nvidia old gpu fan running at unnecessary 100% RPM

[Tomas_269]

Hi, my GTX 760 OEM (192-bit) is acting weirdly. It sometimes spins up even for long periods of time to max rpm, even if it doesnt need it (temp at 36 degrees celsius). Evga software says its at 5400RPM. Sometimes it spins that fast for few seconds, then slows, and sometimes it repeats this several times. Or it spins for 2+ minutes straight. Cannot control it anyhow via msi afterburner or that evga precision software. Month ago, it was controllable by the evga software, and it was not behaving that weirdly. How to fix this?

The only fix may be to flash the BIOS on the card, fan speeds and the likes have default settings in the BIOS. But, I will caution you that if anything goes wrong during the process (power outage, computer crash etc.), it could "brick" the card making it impossible to use......the chances of this happening are low, but there is always a slight chance and I'm letting you know before you do anything.

Hmmm, just tried finding you a link for the BIOS, but I couldn't find any that were verified. Maybe you have more time on your hands to search for one, just be sure other people verify that it works fine before installing something as important as a BIOS.
