GForce RTX 2080 Fan Cycling

[ChzBoi]

Hi - After a few updates ago, my GForce RTX 2080 will start to cycle from low to 'as fast as possible', staying at each extreme for 5 to 8 seconds before ramping the other direction. It will start once I load into any zone or mission instance. It will always ramp down if I go to the load screen or character select. And this will happen right away, regardless of location, character FX, etc. 

I've tested with other games (Path Of Exile) and even other CoH distributions (Rebirth). I can play for hours in those games and the fan is fine.

 

I also loaded MSI Afterburner to try and set a fan speed, but when HC loads, it seems to override any setting I make. 

 

If anyone has any advice or guidance - it's much appreciated! ChzBoi

 

EDIT : correction - it now does it the moment I load into character select. Wife is gonna kick me out of the room soon! 🙂

Check out the thread below, some opted to replace the Card to fix issues but several on page 2 found replacing the Thermal Paste corrected it, read on....and good hunting.

I had this issue a long time ago where Ambient Occlusion settings being max'ed were the problem on my 1070.

...tried first....alas, did not work.....fans still were at a constant super-speed.....and I did not notice any difference when I did - I wonder what it should visibly do?

...tried second....again, did not work, but did notice a visual change.......for me, the video card again stayed at a constant super-speed!....

.......SUCCESS!!.....purchased some "Arctic Silver 5" from Amazon......and took apart the video card's heat sink : so very little paste! - barely covered the GPU....so new paste was added, plus I re-did the the heat sink on the CPU........it's been running nice and quiet ever since.

.....What I find interesting, is that I could play for hours on "Rebirth' with no fan speed change. But the moment I switched to 'Homecoming' or 'ThunderSpy', the fan would go to top speed, once I logged in - the moment a character was visible in-game.....

 

......Anywho - many thanks to @Marine X for providing the solution to my issue - you might have just saved a marriage!! 🙂 (or at the very least, saved me from moving my set-up to another room/house/city!)
