NVIDIA 4000 Series

Something odd I noticed, normally in desktop use my GPU fans aren't on, I noticed today they were. NVIIDA overlay report that GPU utilisation at 0% which is correct, but it's drawing 66w and clock speed is at 2625 constant.

Edit: Saw I had NVCP to max performance, disabled it, restarted and back to normal 30w/300ish mhz

Seems a little high for idle power? My 4090 is 12 watts idle, 19 watts just dossing about web browsing/youtube etc. The average wattage reported by HWINFO is 25W over the current power on session which s a few days elapsed.

Suprim is known for it tbh, hell my 4080 Trinity uses 5/6W at idle and the 4090 Suprim Liquid 46 (fans and pump are off so shouldn't be using this much)!!!! Putting me a little off keeping it tbh, gonna see if I can tweak any settings later to double-check it's right.

I have seen my 4090FE go as low as 3.5W and it actually stays there fairly consistently, although not always that low. I think that may be due to me activating PCIE ASPM (I think that was what it was) for power saving in BIOS.
 
4090 Super?
lol. Someone's trolling.


It was a mistake on their site, The original source confirmed it, I highly doubt Nvidia could keep that one under wraps but let the 4070, 4070 Ti and 4080 Supers info slide out so easily.
