Hey everybody. Been looking on alot of forums, and havent really found the same issue im dealing with. When im in game in most titles - mainly Iron harvest, Warhammer 3 and sometimes Hunt showdown. My GPU gets hot, around the 80 mark, and the fans ramp up to stupid noise levels. And i know what everyone is gonna think, my case is bad and all that jazz. But not the case in this. The problem is my GPU draws 400 watts nearly all the time (in game). This is a 1920/1080 resolution locked at 110 FPS. No upscaling or any other schenanigans. The Build. Be quiet 601 Triple 140 intakes at around 700 RPM (push) 360 Be quiet AIO with triple 120 (pulls) for the CPU Another 140 in the bottom intake right up the GPU Double 140 Exhaust at about 700 rpm also - tried both single and double exhaust no avail All fans are noctuas 3090 Suprim - underclocked 150 core and 250 memory 12700K - Stock clocks So im thinking my cooling should be sufficient, but not when the GPU runs at 400-500 Watts. My Current "solution" is to keep the card in "quiet" mode - doesnt really do anything. And setting the power target to around 40-50% to force the power draw closer to 250watt. Nivida control panel in "low power mode or whatever its called" been struggling with this since i got the card some months ago. And if the card runs at 400 watt or 250 it doesnt change my performance really at that kind of resolution So lads. Is there some power "mod", driver, update, setting, anything? Thankful for any help. And do pardon the grammatical errors, english is not my native language.

Increase the front intake slightly to achieve higher RPMs without much noise. It might seem unusual, but disabling the bottom intake for the GPU could help. The case design may be directing fresh air away from the GPU, causing turbulence. Quiet mode typically reduces fan speed more than power; consider switching to normal mode, setting a power limit of 90/80°C, and creating a custom fan curve. You can further adjust underclocking settings for fan tuning until it runs smoothly at lower volumes.

You're getting your high-pressure Noctua 3090 slams in for the first time, and you're wondering if it's typical to run it at 400-500 watts on lighter loads. That's a solid question!
