Hey all... firstly i wanted to state that it was NOT me that posted that ETH Morpheus pill or whatever thread that got locked in this forum! Apparently there was a breach here that exposed some user passwords? Anyway, I just logged on and saw that crap and therefore just changed my PW.

Now, on to a few mining questions... I got my 5700XT rig up and running a few days ago, but seems there may be fan issues on 2 of the 4 GPUs i have hooked up so far.

Here is what I am generally seeing (running this on SMOS):

GPU1- MSI 5700XT Gaming: ~49 degrees / 30-40% fan / ~110W
GPU2- MSI 5700XT Gaming: ~46 degrees / 72-80% fan / ~110W
GPU3- Gigabyte 5700XT Gaming OC: ~48 degrees / 70-100% fan / ~110W
GPU4- MSI 5700XT Evoke: ~51 degrees / 30-40% fan / ~110W

My SMOS settings for this rig:

Core MHz: 1300
Memory Mhz: 900
Aggressive Undervolt: On
PowerStage: 5
Target Temp: 68
Min Fan Speed: 30

For reference, this rig is in my garage, next to my 2 1070ti rigs that usually run around 60-66 degrees with about 40% avg fan speed.

Question #1: any idea why GPU's 2 & 3 would be spinning their fans much faster than 1 & 4? Especially strange to me since #1 & #2 are the exact same brand/model, and the temps are not even remotely close to my target temp of 68.

Question #2: are these high fan speeds risky in any way? All things being equal, is there a spin rate that I should be targeting not to exceed?

Question #3: is there a way within SMOS to control the MAX fan speed? The MIN fan speed shows up in the OC window but cant see anything to set the MAX.

If it is not good to have these high fan speeds, my school of thought is to reduce those even if it results in higher temps since current temps seem to be quite low around 50. Or, is there something about 5700 series that they need to run much cooler than 1070ti's or rx 470's?

some msi cards are nuts about the fan speed.

but try the options

Memory UV (MVDD): 1275,1275,1275,1275

Memory UV (MVDDCI): 775,775,775,775

or

Memory UV (MVDD) 1300,1300,1300,1300

Memory UV (MVDDCI) 800,800,800,800

stock is

1350
850

and may make the memory hot

which will speed the fans

I have gone as low as

1250
750

but usually

1300
800

is the one that works best.

Thanks Phil... I am still trying to learn about the nuances of SMOS (and new line of GPUs) so I really appreciate the tips!

To clarify, I should try setting MVDD to 1300 & MVDDCI to 800 in addition to leaving the 1300/900 I have specified in the Core&Mem MHz sections, correct?
