Getting my GPU fans under control

[Diddums]

My Gigabyte 2070 super spins up it's fans to max speed whilst gaming and sits there until I shut my PC off. It's loud as hell and irritating as hell.

I've cleaned the GPU extensively, and the temps sit around 40-50deg, yet the fans sit there screaming like they're trying to cool the sun.

Any ideas? I'll see if there are any driver updates this afternoon but hoping I might get some other ideas in here.

Cheers

40 to 50 degrees is really cool for an air cooled card. I'd just use msi afterburner to create a custom fan curve to make the noise tolerable.

Thermal limits for those cards is around 89 degrees, I'd probably try to keep it under 80 degrees , 60 to 70 degrees under load would be fine.

Cheers. Afterburner seems to have absolutely no effect on the control of the fans, they sit there at whatever speed they're running regardless of what I do. I'm currently reinstalling the drivers to see if that helps.
