GPU Speeds

[Kerplunk]

So I have been playing a few PC games lately, Wasteland 3, Anno 1880, the new Pathfinder and I have noticed that the fans are getting crazy loud, I have a Radeon RX580. The GPU is getting super hot, is there a program or something I can use to monitor this and see what the readings are? It cant be good, I feel like its gonna explode! lol. Is there much I can do, apart from turn the settings down or is it just the design of the fans or something :/

Any advice welcome!

Edit: Ok not sure how reliable this is, but found one on Google, and temps are:

65c at 100% is fine
3000RPM on the fans is a lot.
Some cards run like this.

You either use something to create a quieter custom fan curve or investigate water cooling.

Temperatures are fine, if its an older card you can clean out the dust, change the thermal paste and/or set some fan curves. Also make sure your PC is dust free and make sure the case fans are providing a decent air flow.

Watercooling for a 580 is probably not worth it.

I've got a RX580 and its been a bit noisy lately too. Wearing headphones mostly blocks it out

on that screenshot, temperatures are suspiciously equal, wouldn't trust those readings.
judging by rpm, GPU fan clearly thinks it is a heat emergency, one of those temps must be hitting 90C

try GpuZ from techpowerup.com for monitoring

Question to 580 users, are there simple undervolt settings available through Radeon software? I remember it was pretty easy on Vega cards.

Ok downloaded GPU-z:-

Is manually reducing the fan noise ok to do? How would I go about doing that?

That's a definite maybe

In a way, it's all about temps. If you reduce the fan speed you'll reduce the fan noise but you'll also increase the temps. Which is OK if the temps are still within range and not if they aren't. Although a modern card should handle overheating safely by throttling itself, all the way down to low power 2D settings if need be. You might also be able to reduce fan speed (and thus noise) by undervolting the GPU and/or VRAM because that will reduce temps. Generally speaking, fan speed automatically varies as temps vary. Blowing dust out of the card might help for the same reason. A bit of dust isn't a problem, but if there's enough dust it can have a significant thermal insulating effect.

The fans on your card are pretty much maxxed out. 3471rpm is a hell of a speed for a GPU fan. No wonder it's loud. I'm also curious as to why they're running so fast - the GPU temp is reporting as 65C and that's not particularly high. It's not full speed emergency level, which is what that fan speed is for. Something's not right.

is it a blower fan? reference style or a dual fan? if blower its prob clogged full of dusty **** so massive rpm and no airflow and if dual its prob the same but more visiable.

if its an old as **** card the paste could need re doing or over time the vibrations could have loosened some of the screws so the cooler is not making decent contact.

alternatively your case has **** airflow and its a cooker in there
