Your temps are in the seventies but your fan is only running at 50%, I am guessing that was set in the mining Bios to keep things quiet possibly, try setting it manually higher when you are gaming, check overdrive or better still your Aorus software utility and check what it currently is set at or is it just fixed at 50%.

Edit: great minds think alike! ^^^

Well in general fans do make noise are you accustomed to that ,is this noise different.

GPU should control its own fan , try downclocking your gpu to 1366 a safe speed and if you can force a lower memory clock (by 100-250mhz), leave the fan on auto and try that.

Sounds to me as though you need to send it back to wherever it came from.

Yes I agree it could be but if your unwilling to verify the details of your card and it's memory chips then how do you suppose you will safely flash what might be a random bios?

i defaulted the setting in auros engine and started getting like 10 fps in ultra when i was getting 65 stable before changing the settings is there anyway i can reset this card back to factory settings bios or whatever it is and how do i proceed ?
Put it back the way it was. Problem solved.

Fans make noise. Because they're fans. If you want less fan noise install a water block. This has absolutely nothing to do with a mining BIOS. Miners mainly just mod the BIOS for tighter memory timings. Which improves performance across the board(games and mining). And sometimes(rarely) to undervolt(which the smart ones know is stupid since you can almost always soft mod for that). To try and save power. They DO NOT modify fan curves, or give a flying F about fan noise. Almost invariably the card(s) are run with the fan(s) set to 100% 24/7 while mining. Overheating a card will shorten its lifespan. Miners are not actually into killing their cards prematurely. They typically do whatever they need to do to keep them running for as long as possible. Except for the fans. Running those full tilt 24/7 is not a good thing for them. But fans are replaceable or rebuildable. It's a fair trade to try and keep the card running for longer. Bottom line...if your fans are making too much noise at higher rpm...now you might know why. They're wore TF out(from mining) and need replaced or rebuilt.

What a cluster...

Send the card back, buy brand new, stop buying second hand cards.

Gigabyte huh. Don't bother with that brand...
