February 6, 20251 yr Hi there, I've been browsing the various forum posts for the past 40 minutes but can't find anything super specific to what I'm experiencing. Before my 3060 - I had a 1060 in the server which seemed fine, the fan dropped to 0% when idle. However I've noticed my 3060 never dropping from 40% even when in P8 (14W) idle. Is this a normal thing for the 3000 series? I've been trying to look at various methods of setting my fan curve explicitly, but only read that I could do that if I pass my GPU to a VM. Unfortunately, I'm using my GPU for dockers so it doesn't seem too applicable. I've used `nvidia-persistenced`, updated to 7.0.0, latest Nvidia drivers (570.86.16), but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to stop the card whirring away. It's not that big of a deal acoustically, but I am concerned about the longevity of the card if it's fan is spinning 24/7. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm relatively new to Unraid so don't quite have all the magic tricks figured out yet Thanks
February 6, 20251 yr Author Solution Think I figured out why - it's one of the "not premium" cards of ASUS and they don't put the zero-db/fan-off feature on it. Edited February 6, 20251 yr by vK31RON
