anyone have any luck flashing a 3060ti Eagle OC with a bios that has better fan speeds

long story short... is there any way to get faster fan speeds either flashing a diff bios or modifying the extant version to increase the voltage of the fan curve ?
thanks

Did you try to set a fan curve with afterburner?

it is unfortunately a problem with the voltage that the bios delivers to the fan motor - at 100% the fan only spins at 2080 rpm but is quite capable of spinning at over 3000 rpm given enough voltage which is controled by the bios on the graphics card... so my need is to increase the voltage that the bios delivers.... i guess i could build some 12V boost pack hack circuit that is fed by the board fan output that increases voltage based on a lookup table and delivers that to the motors so that the voltage for 100% that delivers 2080rpm is jacked up enough to deliver 3200rpm like a normal gpu fan hmm...
 
Flash it back and get better case fans. It's a dual fan 60ti, it's going to run hot and be a poorly binned card. I suggest something high speed, noctua 3000rpms or something similar.
 
Did you try to undervolt it ? You can easily drop 30-40W of power used, without loss of performance.
 
Open Air Case... i even tride aiming a desk fan at the card...can't make it's cooling fans speed up - stuck around 2100rpm... i think i'm gonna just deal with Gigabyte TS cause this is really ridiculous - the fans max out when the gpu is reading 62C and it just keeps climbing... it worked great when the ambient temps were 62-64F - it's just not working now with the ambient temps at 84F - no AC ... bad bios, down bios, all the way down, bad bad bios.... such a complete joke it is...

check the bios database for 3060ti for gigglebyte. there are a few revions of eagle OC but check you have the latest - the fan thingy may be a reason

gpu-z will show what bios you have now - that will help.
good luck! :)

Don't bother flashing the RTX 2000 or 3000 series cards, too many bricks.

You can't mod the bios of GTX 1000 or RTX cards at all. Same for Vega 56+.

The last cards that could have their bios modded was RX Polaris. The last cards to allow bios cross flash were RX RDNA1 or GTX 1000.

Use a oc tool to adjust fans

Is that GPU temperature or hotspot? Did you wait until the temperature plateaued or the card started thermal throttling? 62C isn't going to be your maximum value and so it doesn't really indicate how well the cooling solution is working. You mentioned ambient temperature but not what the card was maxing out at or if it was thermal throttling.

Strangest thing is ive never had to screw with fan settings on any card I've owned.

I have just because I didn't want them to get so warm in the first place. I didn't want them waiting to get warm until they kicked in.

I think the undervolting idea is a good one. If they do have performance to spare they could power limit it too. 84F ambient and no AC will be harder to cool no matter what.
 
it is unfortunately a problem with the voltage that the bios delivers to the fan motor - at 100% the fan only spins at 2080 rpm but is quite capable of spinning at over 3000 rpm given enough voltage which is controled by the bios on the graphics card... so my need is to increase the voltage that the bios delivers
I highly doubt that's ever going to work, how do you even know that's the problem ? Are there other versions of this card with the exact kind of fans that spin faster ?

Are you even actually limited by temperature ?
 
I totally understand your view, i just never owned a card with fan stop.

People are too damn picky about fan noise. I'd like them to hear my 60mm delta fan

I use a box fan at night to keep the room from going dead silent (white noise) because I have tinnitus.

I agree 100%.

High performance and silence do not go hand in hand

Maybe in this case a little extra case flow can go a long way.

Or you could take the shroud and fans off and just use some case fans.
 
wow, hornets nest... it is just nuts... i put my Vega in and it's running 57C with 3300rpm just fine, but it's not GDDR6 mem either... it's the gpu temp, i forget what hotspot was, too hot...
look, i was just about to change out the fans when i found the guys post on youtube saying he was having the same problem mining with this card because of the slow fan speed and tried the paste thing, don't remember if he did pads too but hooey... i too have been sitting next to a SuperMicro X8dal-i in one of their hotswap cases for years but no longer.. just want a card that won't crash when it gets hot and we're not even to the hot part of summer yet... gonna call Gigabyte this afternoon after the market closes and give em a piece of burnin hot GPU love...
 
There is no modding the bios or crossflashing the RTX2000/3000 series

i saw your post up there... that's why i'm callin home to see if they'll deal with their bad child... that last post was just venting... oh, while on this topic - you're saying the youtuber is just flat out lying huh?
 
For the amount of people coming here that have bricked their shiny new rtx 2000/3000 gpu and crying for help, because they trusted a youtuber, is not worth the risk. nvidia took the privilege away due to mining.

GTX 1000 and older can be cross flashed, GTX 1000-RTX 3000 can't be modded.

RX Polaris and older can be modded and cross flashed. RX Vega-RDNA1 can be cross flashed but not modded, RDNA2 there is not enough info or data to know.

That's disappointing that Nvidia even removed the ability to cross-flash cards of the same type and gen. Cross-flashing (i.e. the Asus Strix XOC VBIOS) is really the only reason I've managed to put the squeeze on my MSI 1080ti Duke for all these years.
 
Is there a way to put Noctua fans on these cards?

Asus only shroud

jUSt ghettomod and use a rheostat/potentiometer
 
Maybe someone will 3D print a replacement shroud.
 
Autodesk Fusion 360 has a version for personal use and one can send the file out for printing, so someone may do it.
