I have a Inno3D GeForce GTX 1070Ti Twin X2 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card and it keeps randomly stopping it's fans and setting off an alarm, it won't stop alarming or 'fix' itself until I turn the PC off and on again.

Any ideas?
 
I would try two things. One; enable full power mode in the nvidia control panel and see if it still does it. Secondly I would set up a custom fan profile using msi afterburner. My 1060's fans stop from time to time if the temp is low enough.
 
Is this alarm from the card its self or from some third party monitoring application? like bundled motherboard software.

Most cards these days do turn off the fan's when the GPU is idle or running below a certain temperature, like 60c, the fans on my MSI 1070 don't come on until the card hits 60c, it a feature.
 
Unfortunately neither of these things helped :( the fans just stop randomly and then the alarm goes off.

Not 100% sure tbh, I assume it is the card, as I still have the same motherboard I have always had and it never used to make screaming noises at me haha

Turn your speakers off when the noise happens?
 
If you have msi afterburner installed and have setup a fan profile then am i right to assume you know enough about msi afterburner to tell me what your GPU temperatures are?

If you have setup a fan profile and assuming its done correctly and the fans are still cutting out i would suggest something is wrong with the card.

Could be a connecting issue with the power supply's PCIe power connectors, making the motherboard slot attempt to provide more power than it should which can cause a fairly nasty noise. Change the connectors around, use a different PCIe cable if PSU has any, or try with a different PSU.
 
If it's coming from the PC then you must mean the small speaker attached to the motherboard right? Go into your bios and check for anything like [gpu/cpu fan fail warning] , I've only ever seen these settings for cpu and case fans but I've not built a pc for a while so who knows what settings are on some of these newer motherboards bios'. Maybe it's picking up the gpu fan as a case or cpu fan, have a trial and error mess with them, find the offending setting by process of elimination.
 
Ok changed to my old power supply and it seems to work fine now, haven't had a squealing noise attack since the 18th. Not sure if it is worth trying to return my powersupply to OCUK now though.
 
I remember when I forgot to plug the power into my 8800GTS and the card screamed at me, it was suffocating, the poor thing .
 
Ok the noise is back and being a constant pain, I have tried changing the Bios settings for the fans, doesn't help. I have tried updating bios and graphics card, neither helps.

This is the noise:


Any ideas? Is it a faulty graphics card? because it is now starting to freak out during games which it wasn't before. It will run at around 37 - 40 degrees but when in a game, it goes up to 60.


Update: Graphics card will now not update....

You sure the wife isn't next room using the blender? ^^

Really I've not heard that before but your temps are fine, my card hits 60 most of the time under full load. Check how much your GPU is being used also in Afterburner, if it's being used near 100% and around 60 degrees that's fine, but if it's nowhere near full usage with 60 degrees heat then that could mean something also.

Edit, also in afterburner you can speed the fans up, try doing that when you hear the noise.
 
Haha I am the wife ;) so no definitely not a blender. It’s making me angry as no one seems to know what the hell it is.

I am leaning towards graphics card issue purely because the noise gets worse or even starts when it hits 60, when pc first comes on it won’t do anything for a while due to it being cpu usage of 100.

The msi afterburner I have doesn’t show anything but gpu temps
