RTX 2070 Fans going crazy while gaming

[Leekrag]

Hey guys hope you can help me.

I bought RDR2 and the game runs super smooth everything okay. But if like 10 min. in game the fans of my RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z going at 100% for 5 - 10 seconds. I downloaded MSI Afterburner and looked at the temps. While gaming the temp of my gpu was like 77°C constant which is okay. So i set the fans to 65% speed for a temp up to 80°C which it never reaches but anyways my fans are going crazy. Its very loud, hope you can help

thx

Well theres not much to say. Turn down your graphics settings or live with the noise, dedust your case to improve air flow and if you have case fans then crank them up to increase airflow too, other than that nothing to do.

okay i'm just wondering that the fans are going crazy even though the temp is not getting higher than 77°C and that i set up a fan speed for that temp. how can i turn up my case fans?

You can edit the RPM of your case fans in the BIOS.

If your case fans are 4pin PWM you should be able to in BIOS
If they are 2 or 3pin or connected to molex they are already running at max

Try setting your own fan curve in afterburner and make sure it is enabled (and that afterburner can actually control fan speeds).
However there is probably a reason why manufacturer did it this way, need to think twice before overriding it.

I had the same problem. Nothing works on the software side. Not adjusting any fan curves or anything. It seems there is an emergency fan boost hardcoded when the GPU gets at ~75°C.
I solved the problem by replaceing the old thermal paste on the GPU and I also added some support to prevent sagging from the Graficscard. Now I dont have the problem anymore.

Try undervolting it. Plenty of cards can perform as intended with a small undervolt. I have a few different profiles depending on task. For gaming my GPUs default profiles highest clock is 1935 @ 1.125v I have a profile with the same 1935 clock @0.95v boosts around 30Mhz lower than default or I can increase clock by 30Mhz and drop to 1v and have it boost higher than stock. Either way less v = less heat and less noise

Did you fix this issue?

lol yeah i did. i just bought a 3070ti :D no for real (yes i bought a new card) but for me, the solution was to put a graphicscard holder under my 2070. it seems that the card was so heavy, that it wasnt connected right into the pci slot. so i took my graphicscard holder, placed it under the card, that the card was 100% horizontal, and there we go

You are genius!!! I am looking for a solution of "fans going crazy for no reason" problem on my 2070 Super for years and nothing helped over years, but this actually solved it, it was just to heavy, when I slightly moved with GPU, fans started making noise, it was it!!

How is it possible that not a sinle person on internet in few years was able to tell me about that? Everyone is just spreading those universal not helping answers like "set fan curve correctly" and stuff like that, but I am saying for few years that problem is not fan curve, it was doing it even when I fixed fan speed.

Thank you, you are first one who actually helped me.

OMG, it's so weird to have silent PC again after few years. :-D
