ZOTAC GTX 970 Fan Issues Anonymous 2016-04-03 23:37:58 Post No. [Report]

Hey guys.

I've been trying to solve this on my own for about a week with no results, so hopefully someone can give me a hand.

I've got a ZOTAC GTX 970 card installed at the moment. Both fans constantly run at full-blast, which creates jet-engine levels of noise. Additionally, the secondary fan (closer to the back of the case) creates a rather infuriating grinding noise when over about 80% speed (which, again, is all the time). Attempting to use speedfan/afterburner/firestorm has done nothing, and all of these programs seem to be unable to detect the fans' actual speed, although I can see them in the BIOS menu.

Anyone have any ideas on how to tackle this?

Both power connector and fan header are 4-pin, yes?

You could try uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them. Ive heard some of the drivers have been killing cards etc

Yes, both are 4-pin.

I've wiped the drivers and reinstalled from scratch, but haven't tried installing older drivers. Is this a recent issue?

You shouldn't have bought a fucking zotac. They're pieces of shit. When the fans run at full blast, it's because it's a flawed card.
