New bioses released to address 0rpm fan issue:

3080 TUF: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/G...biosupdate.zip
3090 TUF: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/G...biosupdate.zip

Thanks to Don at hardwareluxx.de for reporting to Asus Taiwan, which surely hastened the solution.

I see Asus has posted this for the OC version too.

But I'm a bit confused. Only one VBIOS update file is posted, and it doesn't say anything about which VBIOS it is meant for: Performance or Quiet mode. When I try to run the 3080biosupdate.exe file, it seems it just wants to update the VBIOS and doesn't mention which VBIOS it is an update for... But I run my card in Quiet mode, and there is no mention in the VBIOS update procedure or file which of the VBIOS'es this VBIOS update is meant for... I have a feeling that if I update the VBIOS in Quiet mode I will probably get the Performance VBIOS installed with the 0db-fan fix?

Does anyone know?

The updater file contains several compressed roms with an ini file that makes me think that it is able to identify each specific bios, and updates it with the adequate rom:

Yeah I saw that. The executable is just a zip file, that when opened, lists many VBIOS files and the update tools themselves.
I updated my TUF 3080 OC now, and it seems the fans stay at 0 rpm when watching youtube videos, and browsing the web (gpu accellerated), and stuff like that. These activities always triggered the fans in the initial VBIOS and made them turn on and off constantly. So this is a good improvement and the card now functions as expected.

I guess (but not sure) that you need to update after booting with each bios separately, if you want both of them fixed.

I know the topic is about the TUF version, but my STRIX OC behaves the way. Does anyone know if Asus will release updated bios for STRIX?

Check the available downloads for your card at Asus' website to be sure, but I think this update is for all 3080 and 3090, TUF and Strix cards.

Fixed the fan issue for me
unfortunately, power limit is still set to 355W (110%) even there is slider to 117% which should give 375W limit.

Which one of the ports on the side is for the fan? the 4 or 6 pin?
Thinking to deshroud and buy an adapter and use the bottom case fans in my NR200 instead, would that work?

I've got a feeling the sensor pin on the card still has to be connected or the card reports a fan error and might not work.

Is that a special sensor pin? Or just the fan sensor?

Hello,

My 3090 TUF O24G has the non-stop fan issue problem since the beginning (Quiet Mode bios option, in Silent Mode and 0dB Fan on)

Today I have seen the new VBios available for my card here :

TUF-RTX3090-O24G-GAMING｜Cartes graphiques｜ASUS France

Les cartes graphiques TUF Gaming ajoutent à l'écosystème du même nom une puissance colossale ainsi que des fonctionnalités exclusives telles que l'Auto-Extreme, des plaques arrières en acier inoxydable, des ventilateurs high-tech et des certifications IP5X. Elles ont en outre été soumises à une...
www.asus.com www.asus.com
And I have downloaded it and successfully installed it (took around 10mn to install, with a success message at the end).

My new Bios Version is 94.02.26.48.5E.

But after rebboting my PC with the new Bios sucessfully installed, I still have the same non-stop fan issue !



Here are my actual configuration in GPU Tweak II in Silent Mode with 0dB Fan on,
but my fans are at 1000 RPM, always in movement :



I do not understand where is the problem.

Is it coming from my settings in GPU Tweak II ?
I am in Silent Mode with 0dB Fan on, in Defaut mode, with no change in it :



Do I need to set Silent Mode to other settings than Default to obtain the 0dB Fan option running correctly ?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

The problem is your Board Power draw.

1602948584453.png


The new "Fan-Off" threshold is 50W. Before it was only 30W.

Dont know why your 3090 draw alomst 80W in idle mode.... Are you in performance/OC or Quiet BIOS?



My 3080 draws ~30-35W in idle with the quiet BIOS (one 170Hz and one 144Hz monitor connected)

Many thanks cl3232,

I have also updated the Performance Bios mode (yes, we need to update it separatly) with the new VBios file.

The new Bios Version installed is the same number 94.02.26.48.5E for the Performance Bios Mode or Quiet Bios Mode after installation.

With the new VBios installed, here are my infos : with the Quiet Bios Mode (left picture) and Performance Bios Mode (right picture).



I can see on both Bios Mode that the Board Power Draw is at 78 Watts.

I do not understand why it is so hight with my card compared to yours at idle.

Is there a settings somewhere, maybe in the Bios (of the PC) to change that ?



For information, my 3090 is connected with 2 separate cables to my PSU (Prime Ultra 850 Platinum).

Edit :

and also for information, my 3090 is connected to 3 screens :
- Asus VG278 (1080p 60 Hz) (Display Port),
- Samsung SyncMaster (1200p 60 Hz) (Display Port),
- via Yamaha 3050 (HomeCinema) : Samsung TV (2160p 60Hz) (HDMI).

And here are the Advanced Infos in GPU-Z for my 3090 (I don't know if it helps) :

Try to disconnect two monitors and then take a look at the power draw. Connect one more and look again.

I think the three monitors are to problem.

I have the same issue, tho with the 3090 ROG, fans are stuck at 53% or higher, even though the gpu is at 29 degrees. Was the same before the BIOS update.

Even tried at full reinstall of windows and all, alas to no use.

In the end, i've reached out to ASUS, hoping for an answer at some point.

Many thanks cl3232 and carajan :)

@carajan : what is the number of monitors you have connected to your 3090 ?

Because I saw that your PowerDraw is very low (32 W) and you still have the same problem as mine (with a 78 W Power Draw)...
So the problem doesn't seem to come from this...
