Manipulate fan RPM via GPU flash Gigabyte 760
-
Hello team, I'm tackling the silence issue in my rig and unfortunately SpeedFan doesn't get along with my graphics card. I'd like to flash the BIOS to relax RPM, right now I have the sound card covering 2 fans and I reach 65-70º with the games I spend money on, from my experience I guess that summer can go up 10 degrees at most but I can recover 5 when I get the PCIe x1 extender for the sound card. I'm willing to relax settings in the most demanding games to stay at 80º, the maximum I've set for myself. This piece of junk is by far the noisiest thing in my rig and I'd like to be able to relax it without having to resort to software, the problem is that I have no idea how to flash the BIOS of this GPU. Does anyone have any idea how to mess with the BIOS of this GPU?

I think with the Kepler BIOS tweaker you should be able to modify something, voltage and power target, as well as minimum and maximum RPM, but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking for or not... really what do you want? Change the RPM/temperature range? Set a maximum RPM? Isn't it enough to set the fan manually to a speed that doesn't bother you?

I would like to tweak the curve, reduce RPM at all levels and not have to keep touching the regulation. Does it affect the minimum and maximum speeds to lower them? I would even consider regulating the GPU with other software that understands it, SpeedFan detects 3 fake fans at 20 and a bit over a thousand RPM and the one that seems to be the fan doesn't read it well but well, if you can tweak the BIOS better, one less program running.

Currently, the highest I've been able to set mine is to 60º (room at 32º), and I'm also expecting about 10 more degrees for the summer. With the ambient temperature and the settings I play with, I consider it acceptable.
I would suggest that you wait to see how much it notices that it works at full capacity.

That's what I usually do, adjust SpeedFan with winter lows and summer highs 60/80 CPU/GPU. I bought the GTX when the heat eased up last year. We'll see how it turns out with the heatwave, it will be time to decide on curves, however I would like to look at how the flash thing works first in case I can tweak it.
