Can I set all three fans to run statically without PX1 having to run? I tried this and it appeared to work except that one fan was stop starting.

    should be able to set a Static speed

    On the OC BIOS the first fan runs at a constant 20%, maybe the problem is setting the other two fans statically lower than 20%. I've set all three to 22%, closed off PX1 and the fans continue to spin so... What about overclock's? Can you load a OC and close of PX1 too?

    Setting the fans to a static 22% is a dangerous thing to do; because when you start doing something GPU intensive, the card will get hotter and hotter and hotter and the fans will never speed up, because you told them to stay at one speed. It would be better to just leave the fans operating in their default Auto mode controlled by the BIOS or MCU as necessary.

    Yeah, they run themself. Just leave them alone instead of doing more harm than good.

    Hi I would also like to know this. I am getting really aggrivated with the clicking noise coming from the 2080 xc ultra fans so I need to set a fan profile to have the fans spinning at all times.
     
    While I can set the profile and save and close the program and the fans still spin, if I reboot it is lost.  Is there any way to save this info to the card? So the fans always start at 20% no matter what, and not have to have precision load every time to load the profile?
     
    thanks

    Set the Fans @ 30% - 40% static for light loads - web browsing & Office work
     
    Set fans to 70% - 80 % for gaming ---> [If your Temps are good] - Or you can run them higher if the sound is not an issue for you
     
    Benchmarks 100% All fans even case fans & turn on the AC
     
    RE Automatic Fans have quiet mode ---> I'm not sure if hysteresis works when X1 is Closed.  Default of 0 allows the fans to "hunt'  off/on/off/on - I would set it to 5 or higher
     
    A hysteresis of 5 - the Temp to reduce the Fan RPM would have to be 5 C lower than the Temp that turned the fan On
     
    Increasing the airflow through your case with case fans can keep your GPU cooler with less on-card fan speed to a point

    The fans will have a minimum/maximum fan speed percent where the horizontal dotted lines are located in the Fan Curve Editor as shown here (20/100) and depends on which BIOS you're using..The Primary/Master will allow for zero-fan operation..I think the Secondary/Slave will run the all fans (not just the GPU fan) in low-rpm mode (a minimum of 20%) no matter how low the temps get.
     
    A long time ago I wondered if overclock settings remained after Precision was closed, so I tried it to find out, and I did 
     
    PX16 and earlier (with 'Start Up On' enabled) and MSI Afterburner (with 'Apply overclocking at system startup' enabled) will write to the Graphics Driver and apply an OC at Windows Startup when the driver loads, not just after the utilites themselves load and run..PX1/PXOC won't do that.
     
    If you want an overclock to apply at Windows startup without any software being run, install MSI Afterburner, apply your overclock in Precision (or Afterburner), close Precision and open Afterburner and enable 'Apply overclocking at system startup', then close Afterburner and just use Precision from there on out..But don't forget you did that..All that will be lost if you install/reinstall a Grahics Driver.

    If you want to have the fans (at least the GPU fan, and maybe the other fans, I don't know) to start at a fixed manual speed, set them in Precision, close Precision, open Afterburner, enable 'Apply overclocking at system startup', close Afterburner..That should probably do it, just like with the clock speeds.

    Precision and Afterburner can work together on most things if you know how to do it and become familiar with how they interact with each other, especially the 'Apply overclocking at system startup' button in Afterburner which will write Precision's overclock/fan settings to the Graphics Driver and isn't software dependent.

    That should give you something to play with for a while and see what works, or doesn't.
