Hi all,
A problem has cropped up recently with my Zotac GTX 980 Ti. Since building a new system, I've had no issue with it whatsoever. Fans are off during normal computer use, and modestly spin up during game play. Never got very audible at all. Working great.
After pulling out my PSU in an attempt to install a new fan, and then realizing the new fan I purchased isn't directly compatible with the old clonker in the PSU, I put it back. Unknowingly, I had unplugged power to my storage hard drives and had a few head scratches with that, but got everything working correctly as before, except GPU fans.
Now for some reason, the fan on the GPU speeds up to what seems to be max speed when I'm playing a game. And when I quit a game, it won't slow down at all. Temps are fine, 30-40 C. I've gone into the FireStorm control panel and tried to change the fan speed there, but it doesn't have any affect. If I start FireStorm before playing any games, I can increase the fan speed, but I cannot lower it.
The fans also run all the time now, slow and quiet before any game play, and then in its crazy hover craft mode during and after a gaming session. This was not the case before. The fans would usually be off when just browsing the internet.
I've just installed the most recent nVidia drivers as of yesterday and did not see a change.
Any help would be appreciated.
Apparently relevant system specs:
Corsair HX850W (from ~2009) - Contains original fan
Zotac GTX 980 Ti AMP! (with its custom fan/cooler) - No attempt at OC, running stock
