Rx580 fans

[lordmacbr]

hello friends, I installed an Asus RX580 on my machine and I noticed that the fans don't move. Does anyone know how to solve it, if that's the case, if they only work after a certain temperature, if I missed some setting in the Bios? I'm using Ventura OS, my motherboard is a z87-k and I have the latest version of OC and updated kexts.

Hi

I also have a Sapphire RX580 and it is normal the fans don't move because the temperature is low.

If you want to be sure you graphic card is OK , try this, do a stressing activity such as playing a video game and check out if the fans are moving.

 

Good luck!

I have a Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 and it's fans are OFF during idle but wind up when under load such as encoding a movie to HEVC or H.264.

So put some load on the GPU and check.

 

PS. I use the attached Menu Bar App that shows the some of the AMD GPU stats in the menu bar.

I believe it's written by use @mitch_de but there are no source code. Exit the App before putting your system to sleep as the App crashes on wake (not the system)

RX 580 as well as 5000 and 6000 series have by default a feature called Zero RPM so fans are stopped below 60º and spin above this temperature. This is the normal behaviour.
