GPU fans spinning faster/computer fans louder after new GPU Driver/update?

[BanTheTesters]

Hello all,
I started playing Texas Chainsaw again the other day and noticed my computer fans and possible my gpu fans were quite audioable. I have never really head my fans or computer spin that loud since I built it...this didnt really start happening until after the new Nvidia driver update..(Oct 10ths update)...

All of a sudden when I was testing out the cod beta and playing Texas Chainsaw it sounded like the fans were spinning up faster then normal...I reverted back to an older driver..but has anyone had an issue with this at all?

Thanks in advance guys and gals!

Specs:
Windows 10
64 gigs of ram
Nvidia 3080

It "sounded" like the fans were spinning faster than normal? :)
Well, the hotter a GPU gets, the faster will its fans spin.
Why not just monitor the fan-speed so you can get sure?

You can always set a custom fan curve if youre not satisfied with the noise level or cooling performance of your GPU.

Control then manually

I’ve been playing the game since launch and the fans were never audible until this latest update…not sure what changed really but I’ve never had to mess with fan confirms etc

Wonder if the driver update maybe changed something?

I’ve never messed with that, never had an issue with leaving them in whatever the default is until a day or so ago

Also from what I saw the gpu was only
Up to maybe 60-63 degrees…but it sounded super load

As i said I’ve never heard the fans that loud while playing that game or games in general before ya know?

Somethings up..I have to continue testing but I reverted to a driver from last month and it’s quite even under load from the same game..

Well, Ive never experienced but heard of a GPU driver changing the factory fan curve settings or messing with it in very rare cases. Sure, there are millions of cases, where a driver updates would interfere with GPU OC and reset it or resetting the manual fan curve but other than that......

Like I said, just monitor your GPUs fan-speed and adjust it to your likings. Nothing dangerous or difficult about it. You cant fry your GPU that easily these days. ^^

Do I need to go into bios to do that etc?

And well having tested it out the computer is much quieter on last months driver patch then this months etc so idk…

Just odd but it does seem to be a change present

Nah, downloading MSI Afterbruner and Rivatuner will give your more than enough options to set a manual fan-curve and also to monitor GPU clockspeed and everything else. I would use BIOS for CPU and tower fan-curve.

You could also use HWMonitor or HWinfo to monitor your fan-speed. It will show you min/avg/max RPM of every single fan on your system, so its easy to keep an eye on eventual changes or issues.

I thought Nvida's software could be used to tweak fan speeds?

And Yea im going to test again today but that 10/10 driver patch is when I noticed the speeds...just did a few hours testing but the fans are NOT audio able with a Dry install of Septembers patch installed...did a DDU of it and its all good...so idk what the cause of it is..

Sure, you can also use Nvidias software to monitor stuff but Afterburner still jives with all GPUs, no matter 4000 or 1000 series and gives you various options to monitor everything to your likings.
Ive used Afterburner for almost 10 years, until AMD got their sh*t together. Now Im using the AMD tool to OC my 7900XTX and Afterburner and Rivatuner to monitor everything else. Comes quite handy.

Im not very familiar with the Nvidia software though. Last GPU Ive used was a 4090 for a few weeks and Afterburner worked like a charm.

Like mentioned, you could run tools like HWmonitor or HWinfo in the background and they will record the speed of all fans in your system. That way, you could always check your max/min RPM and see, if theres any difference between those GPU drivers, which again, I highly doubt but nothing is impossible I guess. ^^

thanks nothing wrong sound wise since I rolled back a few drivers back
