Lets try this again - NEED RESPONSE FROM ASUS - 1080 Ti BIOS problem w/ fans

[Sprayingmango]

My last post had 65 views and not a single response..... WTH guys? Someone from Asus has to know this is going on....I believe it is a BIOS bug or issue with temps and fan control. What do you think?

I noticed that whichever card I have on the bottom of my SLI stack behaves in a weird manner.

The fans turn on / off / on / off every few seconds and the card makes a "grinding" sound. I put it in quotes because it's not physically grinding anything, but rather its just the voltage I assume. You know the sound an old mechanical hard drive used to make when the head would search? That's what I mean.

I swapped the bottom card to the top and it happens no matter which card is there. If you look at the pic I posted from GPU Tweak II, you can see that blue line with the peaks. That is the bottom card. It happens even when I put the cards into "Zero DB mode" which is even MORE confusing!!

Anyone have a clue what's going on??

Hi Sprayingmango

In the Nvidia Control Panel under "Manage 3d settings" set the "Power management mode" to Optimal power then restart your pc.

This should stop the fans from ramping up at idle.

Thank you for this. I went in and it was already set to Optimal. 😞

Any other tricks I can try?

Views are just page loads. Often just automated crawlers like Google or Bing. So don't be disappointed if you see views without responses as it doesn't really mean anything.

ASUS doesn't read every post on this forum as it's mostly a user-to-user forum. As of the time I'm posting this no ASUS employees have read your previous thread ("Members who have read this thread" is at the bottom).

MSI Afterburner, hysteresis 5 to 10 c.

Your gpu seems to be idling at the base clock with the memory at full speed too. The core clock and memory clock should be throttling down with it set to optimal power which in turn should lower temp and stop the fans from ramping up at idle.

Try reinstalling the nvidia driver and if no help, reinstall the latest version of GPU Tweak II.

Cleaning out drivers with DDU then reinstall the latest drivers again. It happened to me on the Strix GTX 1070 I was using as well, after doing this it fixed the problem for me. This kind of issue is usually driver related.

did you fix it?
i post the same problem like one year ago........

Already tried latest drivers or using user define settings to set fan curve? The Strix GTX 1070 that I'm using currently with latest GPU Tweak II does not have this issue.
