Hello,

I have an RTX 4060 Ti graphics card mounted on an Asus Prime H670-Plus D4.

When starting Windows 10 on an NVMe, I noticed that the two fans on the graphics card turn off automatically, while in the BIOS, the fans run without any issues, and the same happens at startup; but once I'm on Windows 10, they shut off.

Is this normal for this type of graphics card?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hello

The operation of the fans on a graphics card is not visible in the motherboard BIOS.

The operation you describe is normal for the reasons explained above by Freddy, and graphics cards have been functioning this way for a long time. As long as they are not under 3D load, there are no fans.

Hello

monitor the graphics card temperature in real time on the screen and then start using the graphics card while monitoring the temperature.

Starting at 50°, the fans should gradually begin to spin faster or slower depending on the settings you have put in place or the exact model of the graphics card. You have time to shut down the PC if this is not the case, for example at 65°, a temperature that the card can handle very well.

Hello, I will look into this while waiting to contact my customer service. However, according to the technical specifications, it is referred to as Active cooling and not Passive.

The new cards like the RTX 4060 Ti have almost all adopted this function, active when it's hot but "passive" or inactive at low temperatures.

It's in the test by Les Numériques if you read everything.

Another positive point is that the fans stop working when the card isn’t under load. This is now common,

The energy efficiency of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is impressive, as it consumes 36% less than an AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, and 35% less than a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

The major advantages of this generation are ridiculously low power consumption and low noise and thermal nuisances

At low temperatures, the fan stops and only starts again around 40 or 50° since the card is not at risk at these low temperatures. It becomes silent and saves a bit of power for the fan. For most people, it heats very little 50 to 80% of the time.

But Windows needs to have started, and probably in the BIOS or at startup it serves as a function check to let them run a bit. It never lasts very long.

Hello everyone and thank you for your responses. Indeed, I have had this model of card for over a year and I had not noticed this way of functioning. I actually did a test on a game with Unreal Engine, the fans on the card do turn on and the temperature does not exceed 40 degrees while gaming... Thank you all.
