My GPU is stuck at 30% & 1000 RPM FanControl

[Ploxin62]

Hello, today I saw that first my CPU & then the GPU have a weird "?" infront of the %. It says that something is overriding the FanControl Curve & I honestly don't know what that could be.

On my CPU, it basically disappeared after activating the "force apply" setting (sometimes it comes back & then goes away again), but on the GPU, it's still here & doesn't disappear even with force apply setting on.

I uninstalled GPU Tweak from Asus & that still didn't help. Previously, I used the MSI Center Software to control my fans on everything, but then I switched to FansControl. This issue somehow came up a few days after I uninstalled the fan assist app from MSI Center.

For your CPU, most likely something else is setting % from times to times, most likely your bios curve. For Nvidia GPU, the [1-29] range is not available, so your 13.3% on your screenshot is not valid, and will snap back to 30%, the minimum allowed. 0 RPM is possible at 0% if you set the appropriate checkbox in the sensor settings.

You want your GPU curve to look a little like this:

For the CPU I think so too, but how can I fix that? Also for the GPU thing, it worked previously, so I don't understand why it shouldn't work now tbh.

Isn't 55 - 0% too low? I mean, when I play I would like to get it cooled before it reaches anything above 50 tbh

This is how my GPU curve looks

After updating & checking the setting for 0 RPM on Sources, nothing changed. It's still running at 30% & 1000 RPM constantly.

EDIT: I changed the Curve to this: -25 Degrees - 30%

Now it's gone & constantly running around 30%, which is something I cannot change as far as I understand everything here.

The "?" on the CPU Curve still appears, how can I fix it in the bios?

[Rem0o]

You need to remove any type of auto fan curve in the bios. Best is to set a constant manual speed in there.

Okay, will try & give feedback. Thanks

I disabled "Smart Fan Mode" & set every fan that is connected to the mainboard to "PWM" & put the fans at 50% no matter the temperature.

It still gets overridden by an external source. I don't know if the mainboard is the issue, maybe you could help me? I took a picture of my bios how it looked prior to the change, maybe you could find something to change.

It's the same for the CPU fans.

I've got the same motherboard, and found that DC mode worked best for SYS1-6. I had issues with PWM mode with the B650 Tomahawk SYS1-6. PWM may work on CPU & Pump although I'm using a separate NZXT Kraken controller for those. Excerpt from the MSI manual in the image below ,which suggested it as default when non-auto with different default settings for SYS vs. CPU / PUMP. Good luck!

Also, I can't remember if I was using the default LibreHardwareMonitor or a different release directly from there git, as initially it couldn't see Sys5 & Sys6, which I think was the fix for that, although i'm not 100% sure as I was messing around with a few things all at once.

[Ploxin62]

Thanks I will try but don't know if this will help me since it's showing the "?" on both CPU Fan & SYS1. Previously, it worked fine. I don't know why all of an suddon something else is trying to take over the fan control..

I have the same issue on my ASUS TUF 4070 ti super. Mainboard is ASUS ROG STRIX B550-E GAMING Nvidia 0% hardware curve override is on as well as force override. I uninstalled pretty much every software related to mainboard and GPU, even Geforce Experience and tried both the Performance and Quiet BIOS on the GPU. Tried both custom graphs, setting speed to zero below 50° as well as linear graphs with Min temp 50°. The only 2 ways to stop the fans from spinning, is either turning off any fan Speed Control, in any Software, or, on top of that, enable 0dB Fan in ASUS GPU TWEAK III (which will also disallow a custom curve).

What's also weird is on the Geforce experience overlay, under the performance section, you can actually see how it switches from "Automatic" to "Manual" with a fixed speed of 30%, whenever one of these overrides occurs.

Since not even the ASUS software can properly deal with that, I strongly suspect this is a problem with ASUS hard- or firmware.

Anyway, great piece of software @Rem0o it is such a big leap in noise/ temp profiling 🙌. Also so much fun tampering with it 😄
