Title: Sapphire RX 480 - Fan at 100%
Post by: forato on January 01, 2017, 10:21:13 PM
Hi guys,

I have on RX 480 that is always at 100% fan...

I tried somethings:

Change at MSI afterburner (shows other value but the card continuos to star at 100%)
At radeon settings (Watman): same as afterburner..

Any idea or program that can help me? I tried to install on another rig, but the problem still remains, also, in linux got the same issue.. It is very strange but looks like i have to do something on the hardware to fix..

Is it a stock bios ? if not try to reflash stock bios and see if it still happens or if you aren't @ last version of stock bios.

I've had this happen on Asus 480.  I reset settings on wattman and it fixed it.  If you don't have wattman you can try with your oc utility but I'm certain trixxx wouldn't do it for me.  Can't say for sure why one would and other not. Anyone's guess.

I read and experienced the same 100% fan speeds tweaking both wattman and MSI afterburner together. Upon reaching target temp+ it went wild and only reboot helped. Right now I use only wattman.

It's a driver issue. I've had it happen a couple of times.

You must use DDU to cleanly uninstall the driver from safe mode is the only method that I know works. Once you do that and reload the driver, it will resolve the issue.
