GPU fans override
Ghokury opened this issue · comments
If any fans are linked to the GPU temps by automatic fan control, GPU fans curves are overwritten by the program. Probably, enabling any GPU monitoring libraries are enough for this.
I'd like to use 0db mode therefore I should keep the standard curve or use special option in MSI Afterburner.
This is what i do to use 0db mode on my GPU. I fully use FanCtrl to control my GPU fan and i leave MSI Afterburner fan control off.
I'm also using NvAPIWrapper in the program settings.

Do your fans stop after dropping below 60 C?
I already forgot about the issue and switched to Argus Monitor and started using a custom fan curve in Afterburner.
I have a 3000 series nvidia GPU and i have noticed that 0db mode only kicks on when my displays turn off completely. Once that happens then they say 0db until after 60C. This is the same behavior if i use Afterburner or no program at all which means its part of the cards firmware.
Try enabling 2 checkmarks in Afterburner. For me it turns fans off, but still works a bit weird. I couldn't make fans turn on 65 C instead of 60 and hysteresis doesn't work very well. Works in general tho.
I wonder if FanCtrl could implement those 2 checkmarks. Ideally i would like to have 1 program control everything.
If you want to use Fanctrl and Afterburner at the same time, you don't have to control the gpu fan in Fanctrl
I prefer fanctrl, I should have tested what Ghokury posted. Afterburner does not force 0 fan speed and functions exactly like fanctrl i.e. once displays are off the fans turn off as i previously described. Disregard my previous comment.
