GPU Fans Turning on No Matter what Wallpaper I Use.

[SHAD0WBLADE]

SO I got the program installed just fine. But even before I load a wallpaper, my GPU is running the fans as if I'm playing a GPU heavy game like Cyberpunk at High Settings. Why though? I can use stationary and video wallpapers and it doesn't change the fan speeds. All settings in turned to Low, and turned down every Video Setting in the program. Unchecked acceleration, etc. Doesn't slow the fans one bit even after restarting computer.

Either there is high GPU usage and the fans turn on due to that, or some profile gets activated merely because the application is running.

Check what GPU usage you have and for which process it is high. If the usage is normal (5% full clock rate - 40% *idle* clock rate) then most likely some kind of profile is making your fans go loud.

Just opening the application makes my gpu run at 80 to 100% memory. It's running Wallpaper Engine 64x and 32x at the same time, each using about 40 to 50% of the available memory at any time. in the application settings, I've turned off or down all the acceleration and quality. It's been like that even when I freshly installed the application and haven't even loaded any wallpapers yet. What do you think would cause that?

using the Nvidia RTX 2080 with Max-Q for my laptop. Loading up Geforce experience does not pull up Wallpaper Engine as an application that I can Optimize... But I can optimize VLC player.

Alienware Command Center doesn't recognize Wallpaper Engine either so I can't set a profile for that. So I'm not sure what else to do.

If your laptop uses hybrid graphics then Wallpaper Engine runs on the Intel GPU by default, so you could try switching that in Windows.

So I don't know what happened but It's not running the fan up anymore. I haven't changed anything, and kept all the settings on low. I can sometimes hear the fans spin up when going from Full Screen back to desktop when the wallpaper loads in. But after that it's fairly quiet now. I'm not sure what changed.
