Question want to disable my dGPU fan

[.valkyrie.]

hi, for some reason, i wont need my PC dGPU for a while and i won't Play any game at all.
and i really like it to be as quite as possible.

if i take HDMI port out and connect it to Motherboard it self, Pc will use Intel HD.
but my GPU fan will spin automatically after it reaches 57 c ... (it has zero fan)...

disabling it through Device manager didn't solve my problem either.

I know i can take the whole gpu out, but i rather not to do this!
is safe to disconnect PCIE cable from my dGPU?
will it solve my problem?
can this cause any problem at all? i mean in the long run

Don't pull PCIe cable out of GPU because that may overload PCIe slot from which dGPU pulls up to 75W. Don't know what dGPU you have but you may be able change GPU fan speed curve thru it's control program or utility like MSI Afterburner or genera utility like Fan Control.

Fan Control is a free software that allows the user to control their CPU, GPU and case fans using temperatures.

You could also try to temporarily disable dGPU from Device manager and in case of prolonged use of IGPU disable dGPU/PCIe from BIOS.

Again, don't know which MB but you should be able to find it in MB manual. Usually under "System devices"

don't do it, if it get any heat suddenly by doing anything, while there is no fan, it will ruin

Also most gpus will turn the fan off if they are running cool enough.

Also, which system do you have? If you have an Intel mainstream chip, then it has an iGPU. simply take out the dGPU if that's the case. You could also do this with a Ryzen APU based system.
