Fan control won't max out my graphics card. I have a EVGA 1660 TI. Fan control shows 100% fan utilization at 3300 rpms. When the graphics card is idle there is no problem. But if my temps get up to 78C then the fan jumps to 3800 rpm. Not only does fan control report that's the speed but I can hear it. But is oscillates about every 4 seconds between 3300, and 3800 rpm. This sounds awful and doesn't seem good. Again if I sent the fan to max, no load it will only go to 3300 rpm.

Do you got MSI after burner? Have you set your overclock based on max temperature?

Also what kind of "Power management mode" do you got setup?

I do have MSI afterburner. I have not overclocked it. I have left all settings in afterburner default except for fan control. But I have gone as far as uninstalling it which has not seemed to have an effect on the issue. I do not know what Power management mode means.

To me it seems like some sort of an "overboost" feature specific to your EVGA card. My best advice is to try and play arround that behavior instead of fighting it, as I have no idea how you can control it. Maybe check in EVGA precision if there is a trigger point at 78 degree or some setting set at 78 degree.
