2080ti Gigabyte Aorus Extreme FANS Revving up.

[Janosuk]

I purchased a 2080ti Gigabyte aorus extreme from OC last year October, recently I've noticed that when the temps reach around 80 degrees the fans rev up to over 4000 rpm every 20 seconds for a brief moment and then drop back down to 2400 rpm, the noise is unreal and extremely distracting.
I've tried everything I can think of and yet the only thing that works is to drop the power target by almost 40%, it's unreal, this card is only half a year old and i'm getting this kind of issue?
I'm hoping someone here has an answer.

The temps reach 80c....? I would have returned it for a replacement or refund long ago

As for your fan RPM, check the fan curve - it's probably set to ramp to 4000rpm at 80c to try and avoid thermal throttling (you know, because 80c+ is very hot for a 2080ti). Or set a custom fan curve in software like MSI Afterburner

I've set the fans to 100% and the max rpm is 2800, yet when i put it under load it fires up to over 4000 rpm intermittently, almost every 20 seconds.

Checked the fan curve and it's set to hit 80% fan speed at 80', tried setting a custom fan curve and I get the same issue, temps ramp up and then the fans follow suit revving up to over 4000 rpm, and that's only with World of Warships loaded.

Has it been doing this since you owned it?
if it has, then RMA it

if it has not, I'd first try to install new clean drivers and a firmware update for the GPU

Agreed, the 2080Ti’s are great cards but the aorus isn’t. I’ve owned one as well as founders edition and the founders edition build quality wise is built like a tank and a work of art in comparison. And it ran quieter.

Could try a new bios update on the card, custom fan curve, undervolt the card a bit. Failing that raise the issue with the gigabyte rep who uses the forums, gigaman I believe.

I've tried all of the above, the custom fan curve didn't work, undervolting didn't work, when I fire up a game it just fires up to 80' and the fan revs up to 4000 rpm regardless of what I do. Took a short video of the issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPU5fL26-Cw

I've got in touch with Gigabyte in the hopes that they may also have a solution to the problem.

If it’s jumping straight up to 80c then could just require new thermal paste as it shouldn’t run that hot that quick.

Hopefully gigabyte get it sorted either way. Otherwise it sounds like a bios issue IMO if the card is gradually heating up to 70-80c and the fans are going crazy.
