RTX 3060 fans not spinning when idle on desktop

not sure i normal

That's completely normal. The reason I know is because I have several rtx 3060 and none of them operate the fans on idle.

You can use MSI afterburner to create a profile.

Lots of GPU fans don't spin till it reaches a specific temp. 50 degrees is a common temp to engage fans. There is no need to spin fans when it'll work fine without the running. This makes for a quieter system when GPU is not under intensive loads.

thanks for the help

that started at the 10x0 series
when cool and low load the fans will stop

It's completely normal. The card throttles down at the desktop minimizing its power consumption and heat output.

[TIMO!!;D]

yes

not always, it depends on driver and windows power settings

Use a custom fan curve and set Nvidia Control Panel Power to Prefer Max Performance

I use MSI afterburner, you can custom set your fan curve as you like (I also hate my GPU fans not spinning, the cooler the better)

^ Yes this is basically a must to use and learn because the gpu defaults are always terrible
