foereal Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 hey community, i recently installed a prolimatech mk-26 on my gtx760. first i put some sp120 high performance edition fans (pwm) on it and everything worked just fine (really nice temps, automatic and manual control of the fan speed between 40 & 100%, and so on...), except the fact, that the performance edition fans where just to noisy. plus: even while benchmarking and pushing the card to its limits, the fans did not even need to speed up over 45% to keep the gpu below 50°C (always around 42 - 45°C). so i decided to change the fans for two sp120 quiet edition (pwm! double checked!), which run super silent - but the card can't control them: they always run at 100% no matter what i try. on the evga forums i was told, that this may be a problem caused by the way the video card regulates the fan speed: that there is a certain rpm number the card won't fall below. (that's why the faster performance edition worked just fine.) has anyone of you a clue how to fix this? can i, for example, trick the speed signal? so the card reads "actual rpm x 2" or something like this? thanks for your interest.

wytnyt Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 you can control your gpu fans by using the commander mini which is due to be released on the 11th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foereal Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 i thought about some solution like this. but will it read gpu temperates an set fan speeds accordingly? aren't there any simple devices to trick rpm numbers communicated by the fan to its regulator?

foereal Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 hmm: guess the most elegant - and a "get what you wan't for free"-way, too - is to tweak the cards bios. i just liked to check here first, if there is any device i can put between fan and graphics card that can manipulate the tacho signal.
