• Loud GPU fan noise when starting the PC.
    4 replies, posted
Yo! About a month ago my GPU started to sound like a vacuum cleaner, but only during the startup of the computer. After Windows have booted and all, it returns to its normal sound level. I crammed up the fan to 100% and strangely enough the sound level is lower than during startup. Anyone know what the problem is? GPU : XFX 4890
because the CCC hasent started up yet to control the fan speed
Check for dust maybe? The above seems more likely
Thanks, the CCC thing sounds very likely. I haven't dusted it since it's pretty new. I doubt that would cause it to sound that much really, also only on startup.
happens to me too, I think it's normal as the fan will always run at 100% whenever the GPU driver isn't loaded (uninstalled, booting up, etc.)
