Hey guys, Do any of you here have an EVGA SuperNOVA G3 unit? Can you tell me how your fan behaves? Mine stays off for the most part, and when it comes on, it is full ball. It's very annoying! Is that how yours behaves as well, or have I got a lemon?? Thanks!
I had two G3s. One DOA, the other failed after 4 months and my EVGA Z170 board died yesterday at less than 3yr old. I’m disappointed with EVGAs quality of late. Hope you don’t suffer the same!
It is most definitely set to ECO as it only spins up every so often. It goes balls to the walls when doing so, though. I might ping them a message and see what they say. Sentinel, that doesn’t sound good - perhaps a bad luck spree? These units (I have two) were used for a mining rig and never missed a beat in three months of constant 80 to 95% load in anywhere from 30 to 45c ambient temps. I’m fairly confident that they ran like that in higher temps too. Hmmm... Edit: upon further investigation... I am not the only one with this issue. Leaving it with ECO turned off will make the fan constantly run, and it does so with minimal noise. I think I will leave it like that to avoid those annoying rapid speed increases on ECO mode.
Got a very quiet G3 but have never had it on ECO, prefer to have it just running - not a fan of having things stop/start all the time.
Yeah, I’m now in the same boat. It’s super quiet, which leads me to believe that EVGA could have implemented this feature a lot better.
Have you got them on ECO mode or have you got that switched off? I'd imagine that's off given that they're in mining rigs.
