So I doubt there’s something mining in the background. With it, the card runs at 45 degrees C, 550 RPM at idle (with “automatic” fan control, fans only turn on at 55 degrees temp). In the end I wrote a python script that checks the temperature and manually sets fan speed every second. Well… The card is inside of Dark Base 900 non-TG version, with thick sound dampening pads everywhere, and they don’t help. And that I shouldn’t notice a fan spinning at 1200 RPM too. All other fans are running at max 500 RPM at idle, so it is very noticeable.Īm I the only one seeing this problem? Sapphire’s support told me that I probably have a virus that mines something on the GPU (yes, under both OSes). And, well, the card can’t stay in passive mode all the time, even when just rendering the desktop.
By default, when the card exits “passive” mode, fans immediately spin up to about 1200 RPM. I wonder why no reviewer said anything about this.
