Hello I have a GTX 1080ti that I have been using for quite a while. Suddenly after a bootup the fans starts ramping up to 100% and it cannot be overridden in anyway possible. The temperatures are very low and completely healthy under load (under 50 degrees celcius). This just suddenly happened after normal use and I have not touched the gpu hardware nor software. I tried fixing it by removing drivers and reinstalling the same bios, despite that the fans only go to 0% right after I uninstalled the nvidia driver. Please help as this 100% fan speed is very disturbing noise wise. Thank you.

i have the exact same issue with my 3080ti

#

it’s so frustrating

#

it’s brand new

#

Have you used something like MSI Afterburner to adjust fan speeds?

cinder comet
#

yes

#

what about EVGA?

golden stag
#

Have you tried a different vBIOS for the GPU?

cinder comet
#

what’s vbios

#

i don’t have gpu fan settings in my bios

golden stag
#

BIOS =/= VBIOS

#

vBIOS is the firmware for your GPU

cinder comet
#

i don’t think i can change my gpu fan in my bios

golden stag
#

Completely different than the BIOS you're used to for cpu fan/overclock/xmp settings

#

how do i access my vbios

golden stag
#

It's kinda like a driver update, it's not a GUI/screen you access

cinder comet
#

i always just download nvidia drivers how would i do that

golden stag
cinder comet
#

thank you

golden stag
#

yep!

#

Small note - You don't need to stick with your brand of GPU for the bios version. Technically any vbios for the 1080ti will work. Just don't get one that raises the power ceiling beyond yours

#

Keep in mind this carries the same risk as a BIOS update. If your power goes out or computer crashes during the update, you may brick your GPU, so make sure to take precautions

#

i.e. not doing it during a storm, close all other programs, etc

#

got it thank you

#

is there any way it could be a power supply issue

golden stag
#

No

cinder comet
#

okay thank you

#

is it possible it’s a hardware issue

golden stag
#

Maybe?

#

If I were in your position, I would do a vbios update next

cinder comet
#

okay thank you

how do i find the filename of my bios

cinder comet
steep vale
#

never flashed one so im gonna figure this out in a min

steep vale
#

do a back up before flashing if it doesn't work

cinder comet
#

when i type in tyhe flash menu it closes

steep vale
#

weird

cinder comet
#

i also can see what im typing

#

cant

#

where in the menu should i be typing

steep vale
#

Before flashing, backup the current graphics card BIOS with: nvflash --save backup.rom

To update the graphics card GPU VBIOS, use: nvflash bios.rom

#

narrowed it down for ya

cinder comet
#

ty

steep vale
#

your welcome

boreal stream
#

it did not work but I will try diffrent branded bios later

#

thanks for the advice

golden stag
#

Sure, this isn't a guaranteed solution, but if you've tried everything else, and know what you're doing, it's worth a shot

boreal stream
#

yeap im going to try

#

thanks

#

I'll mention if that fixes the issue

boreal stream
#

Well I tried a diffeent branded bios

#

Last time I did that with a 3080 it ran just fine except with this 1080ti it seems to be trapped in a bootloop
