EVGA's GPU fans are trying to hit 200,000 RPM in New World, that might explain a fried chip or two

[Edward78]

Ridiculously high fan speeds appear to be behind the issues with the New World beta and failing RTX 3090s.

Hehe. This calls for recall.

If I had a EVGA I would be **** ing my pants.

Nah, they're used to it.

Guys this is the third thread now with the same topic.

How would they even hope to achieve this. The Williams F1 engine (from maybe 10 years ago) is the only time I have ever seen anything go past 20,000 rpm and until then it was considered impossible.

you wouldn't, plastic gpu fans would disintegrate well before even 10,000 rpm

Impellers in turbo can run at 100,000 rpm

yea i think now that it was piston engines that was thought impossible to reach 20k rpm.

PC gamer has always been a bunch of amateurs. The card fans cannot spin that fast, nor can a sensor read that speed.

How do you mean? I don’t think PC gamer had anything to do with the tests, unless I’m reading the article wrong, it was Igors Lab, a German tech site that did the testing.
And again, I might be reading it wrong, but it wasn’t a case of the fan spinning that fast, apparently it is a case of the fan controller requesting a ridiculous fan speed, which then causes the fan controller chip to fail.

It’s almost as though the fan controller is requesting power way beyond the design limitations of the actual physical limit which is what is killing them?

200,000 rpm?

O rly?

New firmware has been released to fix the fans (supposedly)

If you had the game (beta) you just turn off max fps, issue solved. Plus I recommend the game if you like that type of game enjoyed it a lot.

Saw a guy post on reddit yesterday pictures of his EVGA 1070TI that caught fire during the open beta weekend

Not had any issues with mine on this game or any other. Nice quiet card, really happy.

I monitor temps, power … not seen any issues.

From what I have read it was a batch with some sub standard soldering that had issues.

 

[AthlonXP1800]

OMG 200,000 RPM!

EVGA need to order new brushless motor bearing from Koford Engineering that is capable to spinning at 200,000 RPM and recalled all RTX 3090s to replace old fans motor bearings with brand new motor bearings from Koford Engineering.

Evga have reported this wasn't the case and it was a bad solder job on some cards.

The 200,000rpm is just a reporting bug apparently.

the game runs like crap anyway

Runs as well as CP2077 does

this is way worse because my cpu and gpu sits at 30% usage in this game at least cyberpunk can use 100% of the gpu
