Calling Zotac 4090 owners (strange misreporting fan speed bug)
- Thread starter Raiden85
- Start date
Yeah would certainly be an issue i imagine , i am just not happy accepting that it does it and is normal behavior when its not supposed to be doing it even if it is a false reading . got another 4090 now and you know what zero spikes in rpm at all which is exactly what i would expectIf it really was hitting 6400 they’d probably explode
The card manufacturer haven't given you a gauge for fan speed. The RPM gauge on a car is fundumental to driving the car.
In fact in a car I bet you don't look at 99% of the readings that you could access via OBD. Do you worry about voltage fluctuations? O2 sensor fluctuations? Look at how A/F ratio moves or how boost behaves? You try going to a car dealer with data that there is a fluctuation in one of those for a fraction of a second according to your third party monitoring software.

The fans should not be registering a reading of double their rpm no matter what, the product is faulty plain and simple and if it isn't then it is simply unacceptable for this to happen, as I put previously if you are happy for it to happen then good for you , I am not . Why are you so against it being returned as a faulty product, do you work for Zotac or OCUK ?
And yes I monitor absolutely everything on my car thanks , afr , fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temperature, turbo shaft speed along with the amount of boost its running, egt, ignition advance and retard , intake air temp , voltage and many other things ... any of these start giving erratic readings and I will be on it straight away , the gpu is no different to me.
Lol, and those dials don't act erratically? Most of those are also temperatures which aren't anything to do with something mechanical and so won't fluctuate.
I have yet to see underlying mechanical OBD readings not fluctuate heavily for split seconds. When are you returning your car for a refund? I noticed you said you would be 'straight on it', you will be going back to the dealer telling them to sort out this issue in your third party dials?

No they work perfectly thank , not erratic at all unlike the gpu fans . As I said that is just one page of many and can monitor literally any single thing I want but kinda essential on a engine making nigh on 700bhp but also essential on a gpu that cost £1900 imo . My gauge are straight off the ecu , odb is a bit slow but if its OK for you like high reading rpm fans then all the better for you . Straight on it as I would be sorting it out myself thanks, wouldn't let a main dealer touch my car
If the car was brand new then yes you get bet your bottom dollar I would be straight back to the retailer if anything was reading erratically.
This Gpu us less than 30 days old and not of satisfactory quality/faulty
Lol, a fan sensor (or more likely compatibility with PWM calculations made by GPU-Z etc.) which is accurate at a split second level is not a feature of the card.
I would love to see you go to a car dealer complaining about a background fan reading which spikes for a split second and claim your car is broken, when in reality the car and fan is otherwise fine.

How long you been working for OCUK or Zotac then ?
As I said previously it shouldn't be doing it plain and simple. I understand you are more than happy for it to happen but also understand I am not !
I'm just a reasonable person, who understands that something like this which is entirely superficial isn't worth crying about. You are inventing a functional feature of the card that doesn't exist.
Maybe the OP should monitor the voltage and current through an oscilloscope to a really high precision and see if that is spiking. You should start doing that for your cars as well.

Yes i am reasonable as well but it is me who has spent £1900 on a gpu for it to give false reading and make a buzzing sound also so i am well within my right to refuse it as not satisfactory no matter how superficial you think it is . You spend your money and do as you please as will i.
If the OP thought it was of no concern or worry then why even bring it up in the first place , i tell you why because its not normal behavior and not something you would expect a gpu to do espically one costing so much but we now know after 20 odd post that you are absolutely fine with it , all good i am off to play some games on my non spiking 4090 thanks
I am not acting like anything , all the evidence is in this thread some are sending false reading others are not , mine is faulty in my opinion but absolutely fine in your opinion. Opinions are like ********* , everyone's got one and tbh at this point i really couldn't care a less about your opinion on this matter , it is my card and my money spent out so is going back for a refund .
Price doesn't matter and a product that is faulty is faulty no matter if it cost £1 or £1000000 but some like yourself are happy to accept a product with issues/ faults no matter the cost , would i be willing to accept issue on a gpu costing £200 no i wouldn't but some may look it as oh well its only cheap it doesn't matter but for you that limit clearly isn't £1900.
The OP can do as he pleases with his GPU but mine is on the way back to OCUK already.
Preach brother.
I think the real issue here is that you listen to Magic FMThe fans should not be registering a reading of double their rpm no matter what, the product is faulty plain and simple and if it isn't then it is simply unacceptable for this to happen, as I put previously if you are happy for it to happen then good for you , I am not . Why are you so against it being returned as a faulty product, do you work for Zotac or OCUK ?

TBH i normally don't hear it over the sound of the exhaust ( needs more silencers
) but am partial to a bit of Magic fm ( getting old 
) if not LBC. Cant remember the last time i listed to something like Kiss FM and no more pirate radio stations around anymore for the oldskool UKG Capital Dance or Radio 1 Dance for me... I am kinda old I suppose but not magic old!TBH i normally don't hear it over the sound of the exhaust ( needs more silencers
To keep on topic, if I spent that much on a GPU I'd probably return it if I could find any kind of fault in it as I'd have a lot of buyers remorse esp if it's just for playing some stupid game in 24k or whatever resolution you loons play on these days... to get no scoped by a 13 year old on a cheap Dell laptop
