Other Geeky Stuff / Re: Why does my GPU constantly spool up and spin down?
« Last post by Aljami25 on Sun, 07 June 2026, 08:38:29 »It is like I'm constantly listening to waves crashing on a beach, or wind blowing through branches, but no, it is just my 2070 Super consistently spinning up the fan and immediately winding it down. Over and over, all day long.
Frankly it is kinda maddening, and I tried adjusting the fan settings to be smoother, but nothing seems to work. The only time the fan spins at a consistent rate is when I'm actually playing games. Then it spools up and stays there. But when I'm working, on the internet, watching a movie, all I hear is the fan making washing machine noises.
Why?
Yeah, that’s pretty common. The card keeps hitting the temp limit where fans turn on, then cools just enough to shut them off again, so it repeats. A simple fan curve that keeps a low steady speed usually fixes it.
