I'm having a problem where the fan speed on my EVGA GTX 1080 where the fan speed will vary between 2500 RPM and 5000 RPM very rapidly when Precision XOC is open. When the GPU is under heavy load and Precision is closed, the fans all work fine, but as soon as i open Precision, the fan speed jumps up and down rapidly. Any suggestions on what might be causing this?

Have you looked at the fan settings in the application? Completely removed and reinstalled.

Hello peterno3 and welcome to the Forums! Because this is only happening with Precision XOC open I would like you to try the following:
1. Uninstall Precision XOC, restart computer when completed. 2. Navigate to the Precision folder in your Program Files directory and delete the entire folder. Restart computer. 3. Reinstall Precision XOC and restart the computer once again before opening Precision XOC. Follow those steps exactly in order and please let us know if this has any effect or not.

Yes, I've already tried completely removing Precision XOC (including leftover files), and reinstalling. Unfortunately it didn't seem to help. I tried checking the settings, and everything seems normal. It is on autocontrol, and even with the default aggressive or quit profiles, it still has the same issue.

Try changing hysteresis from 0 to 3 Change fan update period by a factor of 4 (if it is now 1000 x4 = 4000)

I increased the hysteresis to 3, but it didn't seem to have too much effect. My fan update period was all ready 5000ms; i don't think i'd want to go too much higher than that, right? The jumping fan speed now seems to be happening even with EVGA Precision closed (possibly due to restart?). Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing, in case it helps. The fan speed % is relatively stable, but the fan RPMs jump up and down

peterno3 The jumping fan speed now seems to be happening even with EVGA Precision closed (possibly due to restart?).
#1 Remove GPU fan shroud and make sure the GPU fan cable is fully seated and secure to the GPU PCB fan header. #2 Make sure the card is fully seated to the MB. Make sure the PCI-E power cables are fully seated and secure at the PSU side & GPU side. #3 Uninstall all monitoring software. (Precision, Afterburner, Speedfan, HWMonitor, etc.) #4 Perform a clean installation of the most recent video drivers: - Uninstall Precision X/MSI Afterburner if installed, make sure to select "no" to saving profiles if asked. Reboot the PC now if you had to uninstall PX or Afterburner.
- Use DDU (Display driver uninstaller) in safe mode to clean out all your nvidia drivers. Use the clean and restart (highly recommended) option.
- Download & save the most recent graphics driver to your desktop. You can find the most recent graphics driver here.
- Run the graphics installer located on your desktop once the download is complete.
- Select custom advanced install, under custom installation options uncheck all options except graphics driver & physx system software, if you have a 3D capable monitor and would like to use 3D at some point please select both 3D options, check mark perform clean install, then click next to install the driver, reboot when asked.
If you're still having problems after performing steps 1-4 RMA the card as the fan controller on the GPU has a problem.

I'm not certain how to remove the fan shroud. Would that void the warranty? I did all the other steps, and unfortunately I'm getting the same results unfortunately

Look for gtx 1080 teardown videos on youtube. It won't void the warranty as long as you don't damage the pcb in the process.

I opened it up and took a look, and everything seems to be connected up properly. I guess I'll contact support about RMAing the card then. Thanks for your help!
