Yeah, I remember the GPU thermal limit was something I overlooked. While I was mainly concentrating on GPU load and fan speed, I realized thermal limits are important too. They’re in the Nvidia Control Panel, correct? I wasn’t sure which settings to choose for fans, so I thought it would be best to test different options based on noise levels and performance. Plus, I need to look for a user-friendly fan control app that monitors GPU load, temperature, RPM, and CPU temp in real time while gaming.
I suggest using MSI Afterburner, as it includes Rivatuner Statistics Server for continuous technical monitoring during games.
Nvidia's own software can monitor load and core temperature, but lacks the advanced features of MSI Afterburner and RTSS (such as alerts when power or thermal limits are reached, more detailed tracking, etc.)
ok yeah, i downloaded the MSI Afterburner, set the alarm limit to GPU temp being 85C. Noisy fan to start at 40C with max RPM of 1600 and the other fans to 30-35C with max RPM to as high as the PC requires.
Its all good, but now the Fan1,2 are even running when GPU is idle , like while im not playing any games. I was thinking to put my GPU under as less load as possible when idle. Till i can maybe exchange it for a 5080 or 5090 later down the road.
If feasible based on your situation, you could attempt to position a case fan close to the card to maintain airflow in that region. However, it’s advisable to address the issue more thoroughly. A 4080 model is still comparable to the latest cards.
So do you believe the increased air pressure within the case might be the primary reason for the GPU fan failure? This is because, during the setup process, all my chassis fans were pointing inward, exhausting the air inside.
Looking at it from an appearance standpoint, the RGB fans through the glass panel looked great (that’s what the builder did). However, after about a year, I learned that optimal air pressure and delivery are crucial to prevent future problems. I adjusted the AIO fans on the side panel to draw in outside air. Until then, there were no issues.
The chassis has three fans above for exhaust, three below directly under the GPU, and three side-facing AIO fans to bring in air. It wasn’t until I changed the AIO fans that noise problems began. I’m unsure if the gradual buildup of air pressure led to the faulty fan condition, but it’s something I’ve been considering.
