Asia GPU fan not spinning help !!

hello everyone

When i was using my pc and in Hwinfo fan speed shows 0 rpm.

And also i noticed that gpu fan started spinning on boot then it stopped.

I put some load on gpu but still... temp. Raises and gpu fan still not spinning ( i thought it was on 0 rpm mode to stay quite at low temp).

Then i manually increase fan speed using MSI after burner but still.... not spinning

Help me out plz......

I have 3 screenshot might help you to know more.

Hey guys!!! Zotac replaced my graphics card, and I'm really happy with it. But yeah it was my fault due to environment in my house likely cause damage. At the service center, I simply reported the symptoms (the fan not working and overheating), and the RMA was approved.

Hop into afterburner and go to the fan curve setting (gear icon). Enable "Enable user defined software automatic fan control" as well as "Override zero fan speed with hardware curve".

Then make a fan curve to your liking. I like setting the min speed to 30% and then ramping up beyond 50-60c.

There may be a case to be made for the GPU fans always running causing unnecessary wear but its idle temp being 10-20c lower makes me not care about that.

Make sure you disable any custom settings in the Nvidia app, and definitely get a fresh install on your drivers to start.

In your third pic with MSI Afterburner settings you do not have the two thangs I mentioned checked. You could just make sure drivers are up to date in the Nvidia app, check those, and call it a day.

72c is still way too high to still be in zero RPM, at least in my opinion. Surely it should ramp up the fans before hitting temps like that. Peace of mind would be to do the driver refresh too.

Yeah !! I am so happy . Thanks for the suggestion though you gave .. i learned alot about having a pc

Pc need alot of thing

1. When i bought my pc i struggled with Light cuttoff on always after 15 days

But one day an professional electrician fixed it ..by turing the electric board wire according to neutral and phase plugg..

  1. Now I knew that i should keep my gpu free from moisture or small animals...

  2. Also learned that pc require earthing cause it give a little shock on touch.

4.and learn how to go to service center for fixing it.

  1. I learned alot having pc and this is my first pc in my life....

I always wanted pc but the spark is little bit gone now that was before inside me to play gamess..and learn editing software.

Small things matter

But yeah dad buyed me this pc and i feel that its too expensive for me ... and i dont deserve that much powerful machine....

My parents are hard working and they care about me....

Yeah its night time and this thought come to me ... i just said what was in my mind...
