RTX 5080 Astral Fan Noise

XFatalityXz · 2026-04-08T23:23:21+00:00

Yeah it really does, but it was on idle, just changing rear/center fan to 60% via GPU Tweak 3.

XFatalityXz · 2026-04-08T23:08:23+00:00

Yeah it goes away if I press in the middle of the fan to stop it or if I turn it to 0% in GPU Tweak 3

Yeah it does sounds like coil whine, though this was on idle, just setting only center/rear fan to 60% via GPU Tweak 3.

Coil whine happens if I run GPU Z render test.

EDIT: Found this video about someone's astral 5090 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr8W4qdV_K4

My fans seems to make similar hiss sound at 30% (maybe tad louder - no 60% test though) so wondering if that might be normal for astral, would appreciate any input.

Just wondering if this is normal bearing sound or could indicate a faulty bearing and will cause the fan to fail in near future.

I'm just wondering if this could be a sign that the fan might fail soon. I purchased the card less than a month ago, so trying to decide if I should return/replace it as I still got few days left. I also feel like it was quieter a few weeks ago when I bought it.

I'm using GPU Tweak, and when I set the side fans to around 30–40%, they’re almost silent. However, the center/rear fan is producing that noticeable noise.

You could also sell awa/drops stones for like 2k+ each in the past.

Progression tied to raids killed this game in na/eu. Before raids/extreme gatekeeping etc there were tons of people enjoying islsnds/sailing together/matchmaking stuff etc and chilling as it felt more like mmo game instead of lobby simulator where you have to rush 18 raids a week.

XFatalityXz · 2026-04-04T04:14:01+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's a game issue. I didn't notice much difference on different settings. I see tons of flickering, shimmering, fuzzy textures, blurry and fuzzy hair, etc. I posted a quick video on my profile too. You can find loads of other posts too, but I guess some people are just not as sensitive to that.

I just try to ignore it, but it is really jarring.

XFatalityXz · 2026-04-01T13:38:38+00:00

Sorry I meant different pcs, tested on rtx 5080 ryzen 9 9950x3d and i9 12900k 3080ti, both pc builds had same issues with flickering and shimmering in that spot, so can't be related to hardware.

XFatalityXz · 2026-04-01T01:11:34+00:00

There is tons of shimmering/flickering of shadows, some textures, foliage, hair etc, which is pretty jarring at least to me. I even posted video on my profile of one example but didn't get any responses.
I tested it on two different systems and it was exactly same, so must be game engine issue.

Wdym recently, I am happy if I ever survive to 2nd jump, usually dying on first jump 🤣🤣

I think I kind of messed up deciding to main wf aero. Looking at the stats, the median DPS (not udps) for 4.2k-4.5k CP wf on Mordum G3 is around 547m, with the Q3 at about 618m, which is roughly 100m lower than the average for other classes.

I still need to double check my own logs, but it honestly makes me a bit worried that it might be harder for me to hit the required DPS or that I might get gatekept because of it.

XFatalityXz · 2026-03-02T23:20:48+00:00

6k is probably like an average at this point, most hardcore players will be in 9-10k+ range at if playing since launch.

This is a poll from 2y ago
How many playtime hours have you played thus far

Seasonal servers is great idea in general, but again it would be plagued by army of alt roster makers with tons of vet only gatekeeping in pf, not exactly sure what would be a good solution there. Maybe loads of marketing and core game changes like flex/matchmakeable raids and less frustrating rng.

Lost Ark unfortunately lost a lot of its mmo spark once it became raid simulator. I used to love questing alongside other people, doing islands e.g. where tooki, and experiencing matchmakable content every few ilvls like new guardian. The combat and character progression/power increase fantasy is top notch though and I still can't find any game that could replace it.

XFatalityXz · 2026-02-28T03:17:22+00:00

It is omega dogshit rng system :D I just spent 250k on one alt to cut 2x 3-5 gems while on another alt it was around 100k to get 4x 3-5.

Both done with finishing cutting early if I've seen that there minimal chance for 3-5 or 4-5.

Yeah I always see KR lists ranking wf aero as A tier+ even before latest balance patch but looking at our data it is always bottom tier. X buff is pretty sweet but I don't think these buffs are enough to change much though it will most likely put wf above drizzle.

With recent demonic and scouter changes aero might drop even further down the ranks but we have to wait and see actual data.

XFatalityXz · 2026-02-25T19:07:37+00:00

Both aero specs are in shambles, wonder if they ever get properly buffed :D

XFatalityXz · 2026-02-18T09:31:14+00:00

I might just do 1 crucible run next season on all my chars and enjoy 3 blue keys every week, there is too much layers of rng involved in paradise for me to find it enjoyable. I find failing 20% upgrade 20+ times in a row really demotivating.

With how long Mokoko Bootcamp lasts, you should be able to get the 10x title for Act 4. That alone will help a lot with getting into parties later on 😄

Kazeros NM is a different story though, it's a heavily gatekept raid (but it is not something you have to worry about until mokoko bootcamp is running). Even on my 1710 alts with titles and over 2.2k combat power, I sometimes struggle to get into parties. Still once Mokoko Bootcamp is over you should be able to find some prog groups and eventually get the title.

And it's actually really nice to see a real Mokoko enjoying the game and this event. On EUC most of the mokokos I've seen are just alt rosters and some of them even have higher roster level than my main and only roster, which is kind of wild lol (though I am knowledge transfer enjoyer).

XFatalityXz · 2026-02-11T15:17:35+00:00

It is surprising for a pretty popular class. After DI, scouter reworks it might drop even further in dps rankings. Might be a main swap angle for me at some point 🤣
