I just got the HG10 N980 for my Titan X and the blower on it is very loud at idle temps which is a bit disconcerting. It is much louder than any other fan in my case, I'm guessing that is a manufacturing issue? Fan speed is 1680 RPM at idle temps (27 C) and 5% utilization.
You can swap your corsair fan with the nvidia blower fan. It'll fix the problem.
I didn't know we could swap out the corsair blower fan with the Nvidia blower fan. Could someone provide some instructions/pics on how to do it and how it ends up looking? Or is it better to do some sort of RMA for it?
So I just talked to Corsair and they told me that "it's a problem with you GPU PCB because it doesn't recognize the fan" :mad: which is ridiculous because the fan was just working fine with the stock Nvidia blower but not with the HG10 N980 yet somehow that is a problem with my GPU??
He advised me to connect the fan to a motherboard fan header to control the GPU blower fan. And when I told him that I had only 2 fan headers to begin with which are being used for the CPU cooler, GPU cooler, case fans, etc., he again advised me to purchase a fan controller hub. Just awful.
When I asked him about replacing the Corsair blower fan with the Nvidia stock blower fan (that was working fine with the stock cooler and ramping up/down properly, etc), he claimed that I would "still have the same problem because your PCB won't recognize the original fan" despite it being recognized and working perfectly fine for weeks before. Some great logic right there..
