Motherboard - Graphics Card - Loud Fan Sounds.
Hello everyone, how are you all? I’m trying to stay positive despite these challenging moments. Recently, I’ve been using my new computer, but things have changed. Here’s what I have: a Red Dragon Iron Hide Gaming case (with all fans included), a GigaByte Z370 HD3 (seems to be the issue), an Intel Core i7 9700k with Corsair A500, an RTX 2080 EVGA (no overclocking), TeamGroup T-Force Delta TUF RGB with 8GB DDR4 and 2666MHz, Windows 10 Pro with Nvidia settings set for maximum performance. I also have a backup of my BIOS update.
Now, the issue started when I connected all the case fans at full speed to the motherboard because the GPU was generating too much heat. It’s making a bit of noise, but it’s manageable. Temperatures are generally between 60-70°C on the card and i7. However, during gaming sessions—especially titles like The Witcher 3 or Red Dead Redemption 2—I notice the GPU getting excessively loud.
I’ve set up personal fan controls via EVGA settings, but at 75% speed it’s still running quite loudly. I’m puzzled since the noise level seems high even with the adjustments. Maybe the problem lies with the motherboard or PCIe power delivery? I don’t have a clear answer and it’s frustrating. Please help me out!
Thanks a lot, and have a great day! P.S. If I get the chance to record a video about this, I’d love to share it.
Set a fan profile on the GPU through MSI after burning the BIOS. For case fans, they'll operate similarly regardless of configuration since the CPU isn't linked via a fan hub.
The issue lies with the case and graphics card fans consistently operating at 75% capacity, running continuously at that speed even without noticeable noise. The real problem occurs during gameplay—regardless of fan speed settings—the system becomes excessively loud.
For the GPU setup, install MSI after burning the BIOS and adjust the fan curve to your preference. You'll need a controller for the case fans. This should help!
Well, using and adjusting my own curve in MSI doesn't seem to make a difference. The computer becomes too noisy. My fan settings are consistently at 75%, but the GPU makes a lot of sound while gaming—it's quite bothersome. It seems my fan curve is always changing, especially during intense play. Thanks for your time, Mr Tofu!
