Graphics Cards

[passante]

Hi, I have a very annoying problem with my RX 460. Basically the fans keep starting and stopping. If I enter in game the fans would do this for the first 5 to 10 minutes after which they would spin normally as expected. Once I quit the game they would re.start again with this annoying start-stop cycle.

I've been having this issue since the moment I installed this card, around 3 years ago. Back than I didn't really care so I put it out and installed my nVidia card. However recently I build a second pc and was like, hey, why not use my rx 460 right? But when I installed it I got immediately reminded why I put it away 3 years ago. Basically I forgot about this problem.

Here is a video example of what is really happening.

Pls TURN UP the volume so that you can clearly hear the problem

Nice to finally see what other Users were complaining about in the past with their GPU fans cycling by starting and stopping constantly.

Either it is a driver issue or the GPU card is defective. 

I would suggest trying a previous AMD Driver and see it the cycling continues. If it does it probably is a defective GPU card with a bad or intermittent thermal sensor or Thermal cirucuit. 

Since the same thing occurred on two different Motherboards then that narrows it down to the GPU card or AMD Driver.
