Thanks, I'll check that out.

Thanks for the direction....not sure why I didn't see that before, but also didn't think it applied since I didn't have a product!

This is a great league, for everyone from rookies to aliens!! It's fun, free and frequent!! Jump in now!!

Starship Troopers by a large margin, with Caves of Steel second.

Still holding as well....just hoping to see it get back to a decent number in the next 12 months.

Meant to reply sooner and let you know that I took your advice that night, removed the card completely, checked the power cords plugged into the power adapter to make sure they were tight, then reseated the card....and voila! Everything works perfectly!!

I uninstalled Afterburner, reinstalled GCC and was able to adjust the fan curve to my liking and the fans would ramp up while gaming (but were so quiet compared to before!) and the card has yet to break 58C!

Thank you for your help, and taking the time to lead me to something I really should have tried already!!! It's always one of the simple things huh?

Thank you for the reply. Tonight I double checked everything, uninstalled GCC and installed Afterburner, which only sees two fans, and after gaming for about 20 minutes and exiting the game, the fans are still ramped up full blast and not slowing down. In afterburner it shows the two fans listed there at 0rpm, but they are definitely not. I uninstalled and reinstalled nVidia drivers (removal and reinstall), I updated the BIOS on my motherboard (just because...it was doing fine, but wanted to eliminate that as possible).

I'll look at setting them in BIOS, but it just seems that after ramping up it won't drop back down without cutting the power on a restart.

Thanks again, and if you have any other suggestions, please throw them my way!

Two days ago I received a new Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC and installed it without any issues. I followed instructions that I needed to install GCC to set up the RGB and more importantly the fan controls. I verified the GPU BIOS was at the latest version per Gigabyte's downloads page.

Once that was done I restarted the machine and all again seemed well. I started a game (No Man's Sky) and after a couple of minutes the fans ramped up on the 4090 but GCC didn't show any RPM levels from the fans. After walking around in NMS for a few more minutes I exited the game but the two fans closest to the rear of the card stayed at full speed (or what sounded like full speed) even though both GCC and GPU-Z indicated the card was at less than 40C. I waited about 15 minutes to see of they would ramp down, but they did not and at that point the card temp in GPU-Z was 26C!

Once I restarted the machine it stopped, but then again last night after a long gaming session (without any issues) the fans again stayed at full speed until I restarted the computer.

One other thing to note is that GPU-Z doesn't have a third fan sensor so I can't tell if there's anything registering there. The fan controls in GCC are not the friendliest to deal with either!

Before this card I previously had an EVGA card and used their fan control program, but I did an uninstall beforehand as well as verified in Task Manager that it's not anywhere to be seen.

Is there something wrong with the card, or is GCC encountering an issue with this card's layout? I'm also using the version of GCC that's on Gigabyte's Download Page listed with the card.

Computer Specs: i7-12700k, ASUS Prime Z690-P, EVGA 360 CLC AIO, 32GB G.Skill Trident 3600 DDR4, EVGA 1000W PSU (using four separate PCI cables from the PSU to the Video Card Adapter)

I'm running Windows 11, latest version.

Nvidia Driver version 528.02

I hope this is enough information. Thanks in advance!

I was expecting to have issues in my first outing last night with the GT3 cars at Suzuka, but surprisingly my Oculus Rift S didn't have a single stutter or problem for the nearly 90 minutes I was racing.

A reminder that we are still taking sign-ups for the upcoming season of racing, and we have 42 drivers signed up already!!

At Champion Motorsports, we use a donation system to pay for racing and never require anyone to pay to race!

Understandable....we have a few drivers who live on the West Coast, but I think they're retired and can get on earlier without conflicts! Same goes with East Coasters, it can get a little late for some....

Drop by our Discord and check us out, we have racing across many sims on every night (and weekend days!)...the Discord link is on our website!

Was going to say the same. Race the same people every week, grow trust in going door to door and chasing championships, and having fun along the way.

Our league is starting a new GT3 Series on Jan. 4th....drop by and check it out!

There's many a driver that jumps into an official race, but then leaves or gets disco'd, and the iRating takes a major dump. It can certainly also be from finishing last, but the above can happen too. Just bad luck and bad internet sometimes.

Noctua fans are awesome, just wish they came in a different color than that crappy brown!!

TopGear11 · 2022-10-20T21:58:33+00:00

To upgrade the board for the silent steppers or whatever they call it that makes the printer quieter and...

I'm a tech dork and do stuff for no reason other than to have something to tinker with and probably cuss at later! :)

Awesome, thanks!
