GPU Fans not spinning?

WummyWumWum · Feb 9, 2016

I recently built a new PC, my GPU is a Sapphire Radeon Nitro R7. The fans spin up for about a second when my PC boots but when I am doing other things such as browsing the web or something the fans do not move at all, I haven't played any games yet. Is my GPU defective?

most gpus only spin up the fans when their heat level gets to a certain point, which is determined by the manufacturer. they will probably turn on after playing a game for like 10 min. try a game first before you get all worried and stuff.

No, more than likely it is idle, so to save power the fans do not spin. Try doing something that will put pressure on the GPU, I guarantee the fans will start spinning.

Do some gaming. If the fans still didn't start then check whether the gpu fan plug is plugged onto the gpu pcb
