WARNING: Aorus users - do not use Silent Mode

[smogsy]

as per my other thread my Aorus card seem to Failing, (memory Glitches)

however wanted to use Aorus official software to confirm My theory that my Graphics card when boosted by GPU boost to 1946Mhz or higher causing my GPU to crash/spaz out.

After installing The Software i found some Updated Profiles
OC Mode
Gaming Mode
Silent Mode [NEW]

my card has always been in Gaming mode, but as a test i tried Silent mode out.
From my research This turned to the GPU clocks to a Ref 1080Ti & due to the massive Heatsink reduce Fan speed/Noise.

So i set it & tried it out. 3 Minutes into the Witcher.

my Card reached 92C Checking the software Fan Speed was 0%

AORUS USERS DO NOT USE SILENT MODE!
@Gigabyte-Gaming, referencing The Rep to make the issue aware & i will email him personally as i contacted him before.

I just wanted to make everyone aware.

Is silent mode for gaming?

in reviews all it mentions is a reduced fan curve & reference clocks nothing about 0% fan

why have a 0% fan mode on a 1080Ti? if your not gaming/doing cuda work? both of which would reach hot temperatures

 

[smogsy]

You dont always play games. Sometimes you browse the Internet and the 0% fan speed can be a blessing for that.

true, but every profile has 0% fan at idle up to 60c so no point having a profile for that a user could forget to switch. this must be a huge software bug.

They didn't last time I bought a gpu. I had to update my bios for that. Lowest was 30% and you couldn't set it lower without the bios update.

from my quick look 0Db option has been on gigabyte cards from 900's up just for your knowledge

Silent mode on RX 580 XTR runs perfectly
Although new windows build and AMD 17.4.4 drivers are aweful .....
Also not sure if this is causing my Extreme software to be buggy as often slow and crashes :/

Fans don't even kick in running bench marks

fans should be running if your benchmarking, as you should reach over 60c have you checked your temperatures? might be the reason for your crashes

replied to The Rep email with all the details, was unable to produce it again after testing today, but i have reported some other minor oddities with the Software tool.

 

[smogsy]

you running Windows 1703 Build by any chance ? update after Creators Edition 1605 or even that one ?

i found the issue before the windows creators update, however im still in talks with the rep to narrow down any issues.
