So I have a Zotac AMP! Extreme 1080 and I ran into a fan problem. I had been using MSI Afterburner to override the stop fan settings in Firestorm, and for a while it ran fine, I did run into a few software issues and ended up uninstalling AB, and reinstalling, but now I have run into a weird issue that limits me to only using the Zotac Firestorm app, (I am not sure if I can just uninstall this the stock fan profile seems to be locked into the VBIOS and occurs wether or not Firestorm is even running, even when I close it from Task Manager)
But anyways, the issue is that the fans will spin up and then stop in a very annoying cycle until I could no longer bear it and stopped using MSI:AB to control the fans. I hate Zotac's fan profile since it makes my card run much hotter than I want and then it spins the fans up quite loudly. The "advanced" fan profile is not advanced at all and is simply a tiered profile which spins up the fans to the same percentage as the temp. (will spin up to 50% at anything over 50C, will spin to 40% at 49C, etc.) It is completely stupid and I still hate my cards thermal performance, as it would rarely get up 55C when I was able to use my AB profile.
Anyways just wondering on how I can fix this, if it is a known problem, or if I may have to change a settings or two.
My main problem is that I am considering getting a second AMP! Extreme and the current thermal performance is not a strong point and instead of running fairly quite and cool, running the current profile is fairly noisy and pretty cool, If I add another card it will just be very loud and very hot, not exciting...
