PC Graphics

Hello,

So, I'm having  an issue trying to get the GPU fan speed to show in Wattman settings as well as the performance overlay. It always show's 0 RPM. Below is my system info & the steps I've taken. Also, I have no other overclocking programs, on a complete new Windows 10 build with 19.1.1 installed.

Ryzen 3 2200g

Asus Prime B350m-e MOBO

12gb DDR4 ram @ 2400

XFX RX 580 8gb Black Edition

500w EVGA power supply

Steps I've taken:

1. Clean uninstall using DDU in Safe Mode

2. Re-installed Radeon Drivers

3. Update Windows

4. Repeated steps 1 & 2, no luck

5. Reinstalled Windows 10 & applied all updates

6. Re-installed Radeon Drivers 19.1.1

No luck. Temps always around 80 to 83, sometimes higher (under load). Any ideas?? I am stumped

Is wattman on default settings(you haven't changed anything). Reset  > apply, then download gpu-z.

Post pics of 'Sensors' readings in idle, and also the same from the render test (one on min., one on max readings), 3-5min. run is enough..

Is this a custom build pc, or hp etc... prebuilt(with garbage cooling system).

I will reset all settings to default when I get home from work this evening and run the gpu-z program and get those pics. This is a custom build. I appreciate your reply. I will post this information as soon as I possibly cant

Sorry, it took me so long to respond. I was suddenly sent out of town on work. Anyhow, I am attaching the requested screen shots. These were taken with all radeon settings set to default. I don't appear to be having any thermal issues, just the lack of rpm's.

Hopefully this is what you were looking for. I really do enjoy this card. I am in no way new to PC's, just PC gaming. I am trying to get familiar with how to best manage my GPU to ensure I get the best performance, etc. There seems to be no other issues that I am noticing. I very much appreciate your assitance.

You will have to pull the pc side cover off and look to see if the fans spin or not (or fast/slow) with the render test running (a minute, 2 max would be enough). Could be a faulty sensor or fan controller on the card, that's a replace/repair by maker.

Another test is disable wattman (and run render test again) to see if it's a corrupt install.

In Radeon settings > Preferences > Restore Factory defaults (do not re-enable wattman).

You are running an 8 pin power cable to the graphics card ?

I will go ahead and disable Wattman and run the test. Also, yes, I am running an 8 pin

Good news, I finally got it working! Here are the steps I took:

1. Disabled Wattman and made sure all radeon settings were reset to default

2. Power my system down & re-seated the card (because, why not)

3. When fully powered up again performed another render test, but no dice

4. After I had performed the test I got a notification of a driver update, what the hell? Why not?

5. Cleaned installed 19.2.3 and boom.. RPM is working again

That's good, previous driver must have been corrupted.

Or perhaps it's because I have a 2200g? Even though I am not using the onboard graphics, it might have been an issue as this update had improvements for the APU's. Either way I am pleased, and I do appreciate your time & tips!
