Flash another RTX 4060 vBIOS to get zero rpm fan support

[uel]

Hello everyone,

Is there a vBIOS that I can flash to my 4060, that supports zero rpm fan setting?

Graphics Card: ZOTAC RTX 4060 SOLO
Current vBIOS: 95.07.36.00.71

Go on vga bios collection and look.

Can't you just make a custom fan profile?

This makes the most sense, also not all cards are capable of it depending on the fan motors, and thermal characteristics, perhaps the user should just get a chunky heatsink or a waterblock.

i did, but how can i check if zero rpm is supported or not?

no, mine is locked at 30% min. I tried setting fan speed via FanControl or MSI Afterburner but < 30% fan speed it just does nothing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The best way to not hear the fan noise is to use headphones in gaming.

I wear headphones and listen to battle in planetside 2. When 150 players in battle, I dont even hear the fan at 65%.

There are like 30 main battletanks going pew pew and 20 snipers trying to shoot me constructing a tower and theres a bus with 2 turrets trying to shoot the aircrafts. Hear no fan at all.

But when playing furmark, its totally unacceptable. The buzz sound is irritating even more than fan sound.

sorry that is not what i am asking. i want 0 rpm when idle.

for people looking for an answer:

I just flashed the bios of an Colorful RTX 4060 8 GB BIOS and it instantly went to 0 rpm after flashing, lol.

Why is this even locked away in firmware?

Download Fan Control - A highly focused fan controlling software for Windows

This will allow you to control the fans including the zero RPM.

FanControl should allow you to control the fans including the zero RPM.

When you calibrate the fans, it should have a point where they stop spinning.

My case fans stop at about 28%.

Because depending on design/implementaion of the cooler especially for things like memory and VRM having 0 airflow will just lead to premature failure of the card

could be true. could also be the typical marketing fluff to up sell you another card.

Go try the files then.

You can always get a hexadecimal reader/converter and look

A good bet might also be to buy an fan-header extension and connect the GPU fan to your motherboard and control it from there.

And then it will be based upon the mobo not the gpu and you risk it not ramping up when need be, just get a rheostat and manually control it.

you can couple it with any sensor via software like fancontrol
