GPU Fans Going Crazy

[Air_Konditioning]

Unsure if I missed something or I'm doing something wrong. But whenever I join/leave a public lobby and/or deploy/exfil from the mission my fans run super fast. Faster than I've ever set them to. Unsure of why it does that but it's super loud and is a little annoying. I've never encountered this problem before when I got this game but for some reason out of nowhere it started doing that. It would be reassuring to know if it's not a big deal and that I'm not the only one with this issue.

its normal. for more resource demanding games your components generate more heat, so the fans have to speed up to cycle the hot air from your computer case. My fans get loud during this game, but I cant hear them over the explosions.
This game also isnt well optimized so it makes the situation worse (90 fps on a TITAN..).
If its bothering you, you can try using your motherboard manufacturers software, or BiOS to reduce your fan speeds, but keep in mind the fans are spinning fast for a reason. Maybe reduce your settings if you are going to reduce fan speeds so you arent pushing your PC so hard.

Well what's weird about it is it only increases the fan speed during loading scenes rather than the actual gameplay. Example, after exfiling the fans will increase to max speed and use 100% of my GPU. But after I'm officially back on the ship and have control of the game it reduces the fan and GPU usage. My fans are primarily quiet during the actual gameplay.

This happens to me too, the fans only go loud/fast when I'm loading out of/loading into a mission. The fans are perfectly normal during the actual gameplay though which is the strange bit. I kept an eye on the temperatures of my various pc parts too and they were all at fairly normal levels both during the gameplay and when loading too, it only seems to be the fan speed during loading that's out of the ordinary for me.

I think I got it fixed? If you have an NVIDIA GPU go to the NVIDIA Control Panel and manually set the fps to like 60 or something a little low. After doing that the fans seem to be fine. But hopefully they make a fix so that we don't have to manually nerf the game.

Done this, doesn't work.

There's nothing to fix.

Unless your GPU is overheating, there's no issue. It's working as intended. Your VRAM needs to be cooled too, and it doesn't matter if you cap a game's framerate because the fans sitll have multiple other parts unrelated to frame rate to cool down.

If the sound drives you crazy, don't use a GPU, or get a better noise reducing case.

Some loading screens of the game shoot up the framerate into the hundreds range, and this naturally will take your GPU fans to high speeds where they get loud. External software does not seem to be able to limit the loading screen framerates, it will only limit the fps when you are in your ship and in the missions.

You could use the in-game fps limiter to cap the framerate, but this has an issue of increasing the CPU temperatures for some reason, probably due to a bug.

my GPU isn't the issue and neither is my cooling. I literally reapplied thermal paste on the off chance the first time wasn't the best. No dice. My airflow is fine, it's dusted, and clean.

And it's literally the only game where this happens. It's not the airflow, it's not the cooling, it's the software. You can object all you like, but I'm going to go with my own observations and my own efforts.

Feel free to suggest otherwise, but I'm not going to buy it.

You can believe whatever you want. Nothing you do or can do will stop a GPU under full load from cooling itself down. Shocking.

I don't care what you buy; you're already subscribed to snake oil. Go pull your GPU apart again and solve the "my fans turn on" problem. Maybe take them out.

The absolute irony is you replacing the GPU's thermal paste, and as things usually turn out, you did a worse job than the manufacturer because someone on YouTube told you to.

This happened to every game after playing BF 2042. Putting on new thermal paste fixed the issue

If you could project any harder, you could give powerpoint presentations. But yes, do feel butthurt that I suggested your favorite toy has a shortcoming.

Your hardware struggling to play a game has nothing to do with me. I don't have this issue, and my GPU never goes above 65 in anything.

Spend less time whining and go log your GPU temps and set an appropriate fan curve, or upgrade to a GPU that can handle the load without disturbing your ears.

Same here. I have reported it to Arrowhead Studios here:

I hope more people will do the same so that they will investigate the issue.

[Feaden]

I have the same issue. It's heating GPU-CPU more than any other games. That's why your fans going crazy. This game needs major optimization fix update.

[NeoBushido]

GPU isn't as important so why its getting overburdend is the question. HD2 is far more CPU intensive then GPU because IT SIMULATES EVERYTHING which puts massive loads on CPU.
Tho i have noticed it triggering fans since about 4-6 patches ago and its usually followed by a freeze or more likely a crash.
They did something back then (when they started with "stability improvements" ) which made the game horribly unstable while not tackling many common issues like people still randomly not getting major order rewards,HUD/text corruption glitch which is a sign that you are about to crash soon , or just the many crash issues that people have. Doesn't help that devs stopped communicating round a month ago.
