XFX Thicc III Ultra 5700xt 

Set to Performance mode BIOS versus the quiet mode. 

20.4.2 AMD Driver (May 2020) - found to be stable versus the newer ones 

Using the Radeon software, I set a custom fan curve to be flat to test this out... setting fan speed to flat 60% no matter the temperature, the fans violently speed up and down while playing any game whether it's transitioning from the loading menu to the game or back to the options screen. It's insanity! 

Note: The fans set at this constant 60% fan speed does just that as long as I'm not playing a game. As soon as a game starts up and the GPU has to work, it goes haywire again with the fans UP and DOWN, completely ignoring my custom fan curve in Radeon. 

I know this particular card from XFX has zero rpm fan mode by default where fans only kick on once reaching 60C but the custom fan curve in Radeon overrides this completely... why else would the fans suddenly keep my 60% when the temps are at like 40C. 

So my question is... what is causing this? And how do I fix it? So annoying.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the same problem with my Gigabyte Radeon RX 6600 XT Gaming OC Pro 8G.

What I have read there is a bios switch on the card. You can change from performance to silent. Not sure if that would help you or not? I bought a used 5700xt from amazon and the seller offers help and encourages it before you return. They have made very little effort to help me other than asking me to flip this switch.

I have xfx raw II 5700xt.  The picture from the manufactures site shows switch side of card right below power connectors. I am not seeing it but cover is on this card. So do i pull off cover to find this switch? 

My issue is starting any game or bench mark the system locks up to a green screen. I have done what other posters have suggested in the past. I booted to safe mode ran DDU to uninstall video drivers. I went back into normal mode in windows 11. Reinstalled driver's same problems. Someone else suggested using base Microsoft driver. I rebooted to safe mode again ran DDU(Display driver uninstall) again and then went back into windows 11. Device manager under display adapters it had a generic name. I clicked on auto search for drivers which then it changed to 5700xt so assuming Microsoft's base driver without the bloatware. Same problem though and i tell this to place i bought the answer is most returned cards to them work.  Thats great but they are using different hardware, and I would be curious to know exactly what kind of test they are running?
