About my fancurve an noise on my Merc 310 7900XT

[Schalde]

So i bought this card as my first high end gpu and im not really sure if have a card that is standard when it comes to noise, because i think its VERY loud from 1000 rpm and up

First i have been undervolting it to 1060mv min 500 mhz max 2500 mhz power tuning -8

my first setup is with fan configuration turned off in AMD adrenaline, and with that its running smooth 500-600 rpm which is around 15% fan speed its running temp around 55-65core and 65-78hotspot and very rarely go up in rpm maybe a few time at 800-1000k rpm,

The reason im not running a configured fan curve is because the lowest i can set is 23% and i think it too loud for idle loud and soft gaming.

I just dont understand why its not possible to configure your fan curve and the value on this GPU to be under 23%

So my first question.. is there any way to set a profile to be under 23%?

2nd question is. is it fine to actually run your gpu with low rpm aound 500-700 when the temp core stays under 75 and hotspot under 85 or should i try to cool it more?

thanks in advance

What case and cooling do you have? For my XFX 6950XT Merc 319 I generally just put it in quiet mode, and the fans don't really make a noise I can hear below ~1500RPM, but the case has some sound proofing and sits on the floor below the desk. I started out fiddling with curves but it was annoying and all settings reset when there was a driver crash and there will be a lot of those when you're tinkering with undervolting, so I resorted to just use the presets, and it works pretty well.

The card is supposed to turn the fans off when idling.

I have the Fractal North. it have 2 front fan, 2 top and 1 rear but no button. its sitting on the floor in a cool room.

nothing really happen when i pick the silent mode.. maybe its a bug and need a reinstall of adrenaline.

mine is not using zero apm. it just idle at around 500-600rpm all the time start at 40 and stays like that undtil 75ish

this review says it all- it´s not a very silent card.

how much you can tune it to be silent-idk ?

My XTX 6950XT is not quiet by any means. Can hear it across the room in a normal curve. Gotta really dial in on Adrenaline and keep an eye on temps until you get somewhere or power limit it.

well when i run my curve at 23% fan speed around 900 rpm thats the spot where its starting to tune up and away from silent. and thats around 180-280 watt

i think ya did nearly everything there is with undervolt ++ if 25% fan speed is too loud for you already

power tuning -15 is the only thing i can think of

you have dual bios so maybe ask XFX if they can send you a silent bios

and sorry the review i posted is from a black edition so that could mean higher power target.

Yeah maybt but thanks anyway.

its really sad because its a really great performaing card. and tbh. im not really sure if i am the problem, the case or the card. i will have to go check other GPU and see if i can find any silence one and take a chance selling this and trying a new one.

any suggesting for manufacture?

Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XT Pulse Review

Sapphire's Radeon RX 7900 XT Pulse is one of the more affordable RX 7900 XT custom designs out there. For $860 you get impressive 4K gaming performance and a triple-slot, triple-fan thermal solution that achieves amazing noise levels with good temperatures. Overclocking worked very well, too.

ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XT Phantom Gaming White Review

ASRock's Radeon RX 7900 XT Phantom Gaming White is an overclocked custom design variant with a white color theme. Pricing is reasonable, just +$20 over the regular card and noise levels are fantastic, the card is whisper quiet, even when heavily loaded.

Thanks.

Seems like there is a big different between merc and both sapphire and Asrock. The funny part is i was actually so close to buying the sapphire instead

 

[basco]

oh damn.
what i find funny is how the asus is quiet but the quiet bios is not doing much in dBa.

i really hope you find a good card

Does it have a BIOS switch near I/O port? You need to switch to the non-default BIOS there for zero rpm to work. XFX confirmed the default BIOS doesn't support zero rpm.

I have zero RPM activated but im not really happy about... its allready switcing up in rpm at 40 degree hotspot so quite fast

I am personally fine with hotspot <85 and fan < 1500 rpm. Perhaps its my ear already falling off from my parrot yelling all the time, lol.

I just think there is alot of different between how lous each GPU is at what rpm. some can probably run at 1500-1800 rpm with the same noise as my card at 1000rpm.

try fancontrol to for custom fan curves, you can get around those limitations and still have 0 fan speed on low temps etc. and it doesn't reset after driver crash

sadly i allready tried that i i can override that limitation that is 23% fanspeed. if i try to go under it just hold me on 23%
