Fan curve for Nvidia without Afterburner

[jarkle]

I'm looking for a way to set a custom fan curve or set a target temperature that will ramp up the fan speed instead of throttling the GPU. I cannot use afterburner since it only supports 8gpu..

Have you looked into MSI Afterburner? It does a good job with the stock fans on most graphics cards (yes, even those by brands other than MSI).

Sorry, I had a stroke typing my subject. I meant to say 'without afterburner'....

i dont know if you can set a custom fan curve
with any other software except msi ab
but nvidia inspector works good for 8+ nvidia gpus
but it can only set the fan speeds to a particular percentage

Yeah, That's what I'm using for OC.

Nvidia Inspector cli with parameter -setFanSpeed:0,80 ( 1st value is the number of the card 0,1,2,3... , second value is the fixed fan speed in percentage ) , you can use also -setTempTarget:0,0,70 , -setPowerTarget:0,70 if its working for your purpose.

example : nvidiaInspector.exe -setFanSpeed:0,80 -setFanSpeed:1,80 -setFanSpeed:2,80

This do the same as set fixed fan speed in MSI Afterburner , as for fan curve there is no such functionality for now.

This.

nvidiainspector can do it well....

but NVSMI is built into the driver.

If you learn to use it;  you will be able to send some pretty advanced commands to your video card.

I dont know axactly but this option must be in gpu bios.
amd polaris bios have section: temp/fan speed

Its definitely not a bios option....

For nvidia you would need their SDK, build a custom BIOS, submit for review and signature, when you get it back; then you can flash it to your card....


NVSMI is the best way to do it, as it's a part of the driver itself.....   you can use it to force your card into a certain power state, which not even afterburner or nvidiainspector can do......

The problem with setTempTarget is that instead of increasing the fan speed as much as possible it will start throttling the GPU. Why the hell Nvidia thinks this is what people would want I have no idea..

And yes, I'm aware how to set a static fan speed.
