Can better and quieter fans be put on the PowerColor Radeon RX 580 Red Dragon 8gb

[truewraith]

just curious as my last one broke and ocuk replaced it but my games are going through the roof with temps hitting almost 82c with fan speeds at 80% and loud. seams to stay near 76c at the moment, i was thinking of just selling this card and buy a different one as the fan issues are driving me crazy.

i borrowed a Radeon RX 580 4GB NITRO+ and used for a month while my card was being sorted and it was quiet and the same game which was Ark: survival evolved i mostly play never went over 55c. not sure what to do at the moment

thanks for any advice on this

i heard that some change the power limit or voltage but i dont like to mess with those things unless i really need to and the info is 100%

thanks for that, i will watch the vid and see how it goes

I have that exact card and yes, it's extremely hot and loud by default. However, some tweaking does absolute wonders for it. Give these settings a try:

That's a profile which can be loaded in WattMan and will set everything. You'll want to hit the reset switch in WattMan first, then load the profile twice in a row. Loading it twice should bypass an annoying bug where setting a custom fan curve turns off zero RPM mode (just make sure it says Zero RPM: On). Keep in mind that it will drop your core clock from 1350MHz to 1300MHz, but it will also massively reduce the card's heat output and allow the (rather lacklustre) cooler to cope. 1300MHz is also being on the safe side - my card can do 1320MHz on the same voltage fully stable, so feel free to bump up the P7 clock incrementally to find out where you're stable. Or, if you like, put it back to 1350MHz (or higher) and bump up the P7 voltage by +10mV incrementally until you find stability. All of these settings can be instantly reverted by hitting the reset button in WattMan too - it's not making any permanent changes to your card, so tinkering is perfectly safe.

At any rate, with those settings the card is whisper quiet for me and never gets above 72 degrees even under extended stress testing. Sometimes WattMan will be annoying and seemingly revert to the default fan curve briefly when you start playing a game, but it will revert to the custom curve and quiet down again after a minute or so.

Do u keep the Zero RPM on! because i have always turned it off so the fans are always on?

so far i used the settings you gave me and i haven't tweaked anything as yet as its seams to be perfect and ran a benchmark and no crashes and when i hit the ocean part on the game i mostly play which is Ark i went as high as 82c but today even over the water i reach 64c max, so far its great and i thank you for this massively . and yeah makes sense on the zero rpm and less wear and tear on the fans is good because i like the cards to last long cos if i ever buy a new card i most times put my other in one of my kids comps instead of selling them.
