fans not working rx 570 nitro +

rx 570 nitro +

hey guys my fans on rx 570 nitro + bot working even is stress test and high temp anyone can help pls? i just have 6+2 pin and the gpu need 8+6 maybe is that the problem?

[river bison]

can we have some more information like; did the fans just stop working after you have had this gpu for a while or did you just buy it? did you try turning up the fan speed in bios? did you try turning the fans on in amd adrenaline? is the switch on the top left of the gpu in silent mode? did you have a nvidia gpu in the system before this rx570?

[prime prairie]

Also all of your PC specs including what CPU, motherboard, and power supply you have

[keen flicker]

Guys it was working yesterday

And now they arent

[river bison]

okay, so can you list or try the things we just stated?

[primal drum]

old gpu with crappy fans. probably just need to buy replacements

[keen flicker]

i bought it

[keen flicker]

it was working yesterday very fine

[primal drum]

how do you know it was working "fine" though?

[keen flicker]

bc it was working all the time ?

[primal drum]

things crap out. sometimes you can catch it as it's doing it and fix it other times it just stops working

[keen flicker]

and the temp was 45

[primal drum]

are you sure the gpu wasnt already thermal throttling from low fan speed?

[river bison]

look at #1284548359020871731 message

i need an answers, if you dont know where to find fan speed in adrenaline or bios i can help you

[keen flicker]

i just dont know alot tbh on bois things i just downloaded msi after burner and tried to speed the fans and didint worked also

[keen flicker]

this is my first gpu

i dont have an old one

[river bison]

the #1 st thing I would do i shut down the system the flick then switch on the top left of the gpu

it may be in silent mode

[keen flicker]

i dont get it

how?

[river bison]

the switch with silent/oc printed beneath it

[keen flicker]

this?

[river bison]

yes

[keen flicker]

i pushed it to right

[river bison]

shut the pc down

[keen flicker]

previeos

[keen flicker]

ok?

[primal drum]

but why would you flip the switch if the fans were already working before?

unless they were inside the pc messing with stuff, i dont se how this would help

[river bison]

you need to shut it down and then flip the switch

[primal drum]

more likely, the fans were already lower rpm and getting ready to die

[keen flicker]

to right side?

[river bison]

seeing if something went wrong with bios

[river bison]

yes

[keen flicker]

its not

[river bison]

the fans could just have died

[primal drum]

the card wouldnt be working if something went wrong with the bios

[river bison]

he is right

[keen flicker]

ok give me min to do it

[primal drum]

rx 570 is really old, like 8 years old and if it's been used continuously for years, the fans just wear out

your card may be 7 years old

they're cheap fans and they dont last forever

[keen flicker]

Nitro + came in 19

[river bison]

next lets try using amd adrenaline to see if we can change the fan speed through that. you said you tried using msi afterburner right?

[river bison]

where did you get that card from

[keen flicker]

My friend

[primal drum]

5 years is still a long time for continuous usage though

i've had to replace some gpu fans earlier than 4 years before

[keen flicker]

Ok after that?

Nothing changed

[river bison]

do you know if he used it for crypto mining?

[keen flicker]

no he isnt

[keen flicker]

i did what you said

but nothing has changed

[primal drum]

you need a load on the gpu for the fans to be moving

[river bison]

click on advanced

manually max out the fans

[primal drum]

although zero rpm is also disabled so...

[river bison]

push those alll the way up

[keen flicker]

؟

[river bison]

if the fans dont spin at this point I say they are dead

yep they should be spinning no matter what

[keen flicker]

nope

not spining

[river bison]

yeah you need new fans

[keen flicker]

oh man

how much it cost

[primal drum]

usually 1 fan should be running

[keen flicker]

nothing

[primal drum]

they're tied together, so that may mean the first fan in the daisychain line has a problem and preventing the second one from running

[river bison]

[primal drum]

unless it's not daisychained, and if it's not, that means it has another problem

[river bison]

found them here

[keen flicker]

16$

[river bison]

they are the pin to pad type not wired

[keen flicker]

oh shi

[river bison]

so it shouldnt be hard to replace

[primal drum]

ok then the connector for the fans may have a fault and replacing fans wont fix it

[river bison]

there could be that

other issues in the circuit

hmmm

[primal drum]

may just need to clean up the contacts with some rubbing alcohol or contact cleaner

[river bison]

oh maybe try taking out the fans and putting each one in on either side

[keen flicker]

guys im not that pro

im rookie

[river bison]

to test if one of the fans has a bad circuit

[keen flicker]

can we go step by step if can

[primal drum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYR9WkYbb0A

[river bison]

nice

just found that

[primal drum]

@keen flickerthat vid i posted should be all you need to replace and or clean the fans and the contacts

[river bison]

one screw and a paper towel with some alcohol will do it

[keen flicker]

ok let me try and tell you guys

[river bison]

yep

watch carefully

[keen flicker]

but there is a point i just plugend 6+2 on the gpu and the gpu need 8+6

is that maybe?

[river bison]

it is best to have an 8+6 which is why saikmat asked for the rest of your system specs

that still isnt the likely reason behind the fans not spinning

if you clean the fans and contacts and they still dont work then that would be what to try

[keen flicker]

i just read the 6 is just extra power

[river bison]

it is

so you have a 6+2 in the 8 pin spot

[keen flicker]

my psu dont have that

[keen flicker]

yes

[river bison]

yeah it should be all you need

mine im just running a 8 pin

[keen flicker]

you have the same card?

[primal drum]

if the gpu was already working, it means you have the correct pcie cables

[river bison]

no, an xfx model

but same idea

[primal drum]

what was the spec of the power supply?

[keen flicker]

550 wat

[primal drum]

i think almost anything 450-500watt will have at minimum a single 6+2pin and better models 550watt or higher will have minimum 2x 6+2

[keen flicker]

gigabyte 550 wat

[keen flicker]

i just dont have a new fans

[river bison]

take them out anyways

look at the pins, take some isoprpyl alcohol on a towel, cotton swab and clean them off

[keen flicker]

i think that make sense

[river bison]

there could be a bad connection because of dirt and dust

[keen flicker]

only remove the fans and clean and replace yes?

nothing deeper

[river bison]

yes

[keen flicker]

ok let me try

[primal drum]

just take them out to clean them and then see if they work

if they dont work, then buy replacements

[keen flicker]

This is not pressing downnn

To hrd

[keen flicker]

Like how

My fingers broke

[river bison]

you unscrewed the gpu at its mounting bracket right?

[primal drum]

use a slot screwdriver to push it down

[keen flicker]

Yes

[primal drum]

flat head screwdriver other name

[keen flicker]

No screws

[primal drum]

no... to release that tab on the back of the gpu slot

you just push it down

[keen flicker]

How?

[primal drum]

if it's hard to do you gently use a screw driver or something else maybe a ruler

[keen flicker]

Ok let me try

[river bison]

some plastic or wood stick

[keen flicker]

Lets go

Oh gosh so dusty

Thia not getting of

[primal drum]

what?

if you have rubbing alcohol you only need to clean the metal contacts

[keen flicker]

Ok done

No replace

Now

[keen flicker]

Guyssss

Ah shi

Ah shi

@primal drum

@river bison

[primal drum]

it just pops on

[keen flicker]

Its brokennn

Nahrgehudhcjvirniv

[primal drum]

did any other plastic pieces come off it?

if not, then it's fine and can be put back on

[keen flicker]

How fuhd

Ehhdudhd

Its that matter?

What should i do

[river bison]

just put the gpuc back in

both of my pcs dont have it lol

just make sure its evenly in the slot

[keen flicker]

This shit fns dont want to work

i think i will give up

how can i get 6 pin

[primal drum]

oh i see you broke it because you didnt pay attention to the tab where the screw driver would go

you are only suppose to push it down to release the gpu

[keen flicker]

nvm its working now

i puted 2 screws

i hope it goes well

[primal drum]

you dont need the lock for the gpu to function, but breaking it can cause damage to the board when forcing it and you slip off it when pushing it down

[keen flicker]

its done after some month i will get new one

for this im not mad about it

[primal drum]

the motherboard im saying

[keen flicker]

yes

i know

is there any solution left?

..

@primal drum@river bison

anything left can i do?

[primal drum]

if the fans dont work, buy new fans

[keen flicker]

or 6 pin

[primal drum]

why are we still on the 6pin

if the card was working before just plug the same cables in

[keen flicker]

i dont think its from fans to

[river bison]

the 6 pin wont fix it

my xfx model is on a 8pin only

never had a fan die

best thing to do is get new fans

if the new fans dont work then the circuit for the fans is messed up

thats just a new gpu

[keen flicker]

i will just give up

[river bison]

thats not the spirit

id risk the 20 bucks on new fans

that is by far the most likely fix

[primal drum]

they didnt even say if the fans are not working

im assuming they're not since they are giving up but...

[keen flicker]

i just spend 60$ on this gpu

20more ican get an uupgrade

[primal drum]

can you return the gpu?

[keen flicker]

ig no icant

[primal drum]

what was the xfx card you had before? am i getting that right? you had an xfx before this card?

[keen flicker]

what is xfx?

[keen flicker]

.

[primal drum]

never mind

we ahve some miscommunications here so forget that

i was reading what was being saidf wrong

[keen flicker]

oh ok

any left to do?

[primal drum]

if the fans dont work and the gpu does work, then you buy new fans

[keen flicker]

and if it dont work?

[primal drum]

there isnt much more you can do other than that

[primal drum]

the gpu was working

the only thing you did was cleaned the fans and hopefully the metal contacts for power

[keen flicker]

i di

did

[primal drum]

then you buy new fans. if those new fans dont fix the problem, there is a problem elsewhere
