Only fans on AIO GPU RAS activate when temperature is between 60 and 70 degrees on the GPU.
I purchased a Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3090 Ti Extreme Waterforce and set it up today. Everything started working properly, but the cooling fans were always off until the GPU reached around 60-65 degrees. Once they kicked in at 100%, they cooled the system to about 50 degrees and then turned off again. I attempted to adjust the fan curve in Afterburner, but it didn’t make a difference. It’s not the noise itself that bothers me, but how loudly the fans switch on and off is quite disruptive. Anyone have suggestions on what might be causing this issue?
There were just a few available connections besides the power and PCIe links to the MOBO. That means you should be able to manage it using Afterburner or similar tools, treating it like a regular GPU.
The fans must connect to a device that manages their speed for effective control.
Examining the setup reveals a single wire linking every fan to the GPU, indicating fan control is possible. Determining how to adjust the fan curves to prevent constant 100% operation is unclear.
If the default GPU connection can't be managed, connect the fans to another adjustable header and change its speed settings.
I believe I fixed it. I replaced the GPU and also unplugged the PWM wires going to each fan, then reconnected them. When it starts up, the fans on the GPU began spinning.
