ZOTAC RTX4080 AMP - looking for bios with lower minimal fan speed

[nvidia.fan2022]

Hello.
The Zotac RTX 4080 has very loud fans at minimum speed soo I'm looking for a bios with slower fan speeds.
Can anyone recommend me a bios that will make the card quieter at minimum RPM sped?
I already checked one bios and it's a bit better (fan speeds lower by 100 rpm) but I'm looking for something quieter.
I present the results below:

ZOTAC RTX4080 Silent BIOS - Min speed 30%, min RPM 1100
MSI RTX 4080 16 GB Suprim X Normal BIOS - Min speed 30%, min RPM 1000

Does anyone know on which bios the fans in the Zotac RTX 4080 could run at 900 RPM?

UPDATE: next bios

MSI RTX 4080 16 GB Suprim X Silent BIOS - Min speed 30%, min RPM 870 (fan1) + 900 (fan2)

Please do not brick your gpu

Have you had a look see at what msi afterburner can do?

The most important thing - do you have a backup GPU and/or a BIOS programmer?

 

[nvidia.fan2022]

Yes, I made a bios backup. I also have a Zotac 4080 with two bios

The Zotac RTX 4080 AMP Extreme AIRO card works perfectly with the bios with the MSI RTX 4080 16 GB Suprim X in the silent version

Silent MSI bios Compared to Zotac silent bios: lowest speed decreased from 1100 rpm to 870 rpm (fan 1,2) and 900 rpm (fan 3). I can finally use this graphics card comfortably. It is now relatively quiet at the lowest fan speeds.

Thanks MSI for creating a great bios (fan curve, 0rpm mode, gpu/hot spot temperatures, fan start/stop temperatures - everything was programmed perfectly as it should). I recommend Zotac to change programmers, because the bios they released worked hopelessly and additionally sometimes caused windows to reset when loading - despite the patch installed (there is no such problem on msi bios). To my mind Zotac, issuing bios for its RTX 4080 and 4090 cards, probably never tested it in practice properly. it is underdeveloped in all respects, both normal and silent bios.

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

Remember to compare some benches, there was someone else talking about how any BIOS other than stock reduced his performance on his 3090...

 

[AsRock]

Maybe give Fan control a try ?, make sure the fan are working still once you have the lower speeds. Should never run a GPU fan at 0.

 

[nvidia.fan2022]

everything works perfectly on the new bios from MSI, there are no performance drops. Zotac bios has blocked fan control and you can't set it lower than 30%. And at 30% it's too loud for me (Low-quality fans with noisy bearings are used). That's why I flashed the bios from MSI - now the Zotac card is finally silent at minimum fan speed. With MSI bios, the minimum fan speed is also 30% but the fan speed is 200 rpm lower at this value.

I doubt Zotact needs to, they are better by not letting their gpu heatsoak/roast due to a fanstop or too low a rotation where the impeller is ineffective.

In zotac they set the minimum fan speed so high that in 1/2 of the game the fan is constantly at 30% (1100rpm). In less demanding games, they could easily work at 20-25%, and the temperature would still be lower than 60 degrees. It wouldn't bother me at all if it wasn't for the very unpleasant sound of the bearings occurring already at 30% of the fan speed.

The temperature of the card under full load is identical in the bios zotac and msi (zotac: 65 degrees - rpm 1320, msi: 65 degrees - rpm 1310.). It's just that MSI starts with 870 rpm fans and Zotac starts with 1100 rpm. 1100rpm is already a very unpleasant sound that is hard to bear during normal operation without load, when it is quiet and there are no sounds from games.

ps. Running the fan at 870 rpm, especially after undervolting, is now enough for me to cool the card below 60 degrees in 90% of games. So why did zotac make me listen to the unpleasant sound of bearings at 1100 rpm? This is total stupidity. Zotac if you are reading this, do not set the minimum speed to 1100 rpm if you use very poor quality fans that are already very noisy at this speed ! Not everyone wants to sit in noise all the time, even when they're not playing games or playing low-demand games and nothing drowns out the noise of your fans. 0rpm fan mode is not is not enough in this case

Zotac have no representatives here so it falls on blind eyes, send them an email

Next time around, don’t buy Zotac.
Personally, I’ve always found the to be a non-top choice.

Fixes the problem.

Sadly all Zotac 4080 and 4090 cards have this issue, because Zotac had the amazing idea, to use very bad fans for their $1200 and $1700 cards and spare $2-3 per card. You cant fix this with a bios, because the fans already have the annoying noise with 30% and you cant go lower. The only thing you can do is swap the fans. Here is a mod with a custom 3d print frame for it in German need to translate to English with Chrome

ZOTAC RTX 4000 Series - Silent Mod für AMP AIRO & Trinity

Hallo Luxxer, die meisten von euch kennen ja bereits den umfangreichen Rassel und Fiep-Thread für Ada Lovelace, worin die Karten von Zotac beim Coilwhine sehr gut, bei den Lüftern aber eher schlecht abschneiden. Diese sind zwar halbwegs leise, klingen aber "wie ein alter Schiffsdiesel" oder...

I also learned too late about this issue, and it will be my last Zotac card. Someone should sue them for this scam.

Fixes the problem.

no it does not, normal is also the default

 

[Stoogie]

It fixes the problem of the fan not idleing, the 30% dual ball bearing fan isn't because its cheap its because its dual ball bearing , that is how they normally sound (i have zotac 4080 amp extreme).
Now I have aspergers and OCD and im sensitive to things like sound, I sold off a 7900 xtx due to coil whine which sounds way worse than the fan bzz of a dual ball bearing and changed to the zotac due to its power delivery design using 55 amp instead of 70 which this being my 3rd card with 55amp has never had coil whine with a semi open case, amazing build for my preferences.

The dual ball bearing unique noise does not bother me over my 34db fan noise case unlike coil whine. This is even while using speakers I do not use headphones and case being on the desk to the right of my mousepad.

Dual ball bearing fans are better quality and last longer at the cost of more noise, sapphire cards of the 7000 series also use dual ball bearing fans, so do many others. other fan types are quieter yes but don't last as long

FanControl getfancontrolDOTcom is amazing. It certainly will allow you to stop your fans, but most GPU have a range starting at 30, meaning 1-29 is not available.
What I love about this program is I can turn the fans off on my 4080 SuprimX, and I can tie the fans not only to the GPU, but to the MB Chipset temp, which on X570s boards will drive OCD people insane because although within specs, they run HOT. So, my GPU sits in the 30Cs when not gaming and I have the fans OFF. But when I'm on Discord, on cam, on voice, with 20 chrome tabs open and who knows what else, and my chipset temp hits 72C, FanControl kicks on my GPU fans which blow air directly on the Chipset heatsink, it also spools up my exhaust and intake fans for a short time.

This is ironic because I may flash the GAMING BIOS of my SuprimX(it is dual bios and the TDPs on this card are the same on both bioses, just a fan curve change) to the 450W BIOS version of the Amp Extreme. That vBIOS has the highest TDP of all the 4080s. SuprimX is 400w, StrixOC is 420w and the AmpX is 450w. I sim race in VR and on triples, and TBH I really need a 4090 but tbh, AMS2 in VR, iRacing in VR, and everything on 27"-1080 triples including assetto corsa comp. runs great. I can trun most things on HIGH and average between 100 and 164fps (165hz gsync) just fine.

Anyways, try fan control. I've been building PC's and Sim Racing since 1995 and it's a keeper. Just make sure to put about a 30sec start delay on the app starting on boot. You can set in the app. Otherwise the app will start before windows and the motherboard sort everything out on boot.

this.
i exclusively use this software to control every fan on every device.

You will never find a quiet dual ball fan, unless it isn't doing anything.

My particular card has only 1 bios, and 0 RPM mode is standard out of the box behavior. I need to use software to have them running all the time if I want. Lowest speed is 30% or about 1000RPM.

The card is a cool runner though, don't need them on.. but they are anyways.

Next time around, don’t buy Zotac.

I have had a couple, the last one clocked way better than my EVGA of the same model did.

Are you talking about customer service? I haven't needed them yet, but attitude is everything.

Might help ya out for the next time.
