gtx570m noisy fans, need silent firmware

[smitty123]

hi all, i'm looking to make my gt780dxr-279us with a gtx570m in it, very silent.

the fan is too noisy just idling, i know laptops can be little noisy but this is more than a little bit noisy. i can't change fan speed in msi afterburner but the fan has 3 wires that should allow software to control it.

The fan goes so fast my idle temps are 38c for vga and 41c for cpu. idk if thats right.

is it possible to hardware mod or firmware mod to adjust the fan speed curve so it will go slower ?

i'm very comfortable with modding the hardware and i would prefer flashing a new silent firmware.

so any ideas?

I have Gx660 and the fan is spining all the time I dont like that either we need integrated graphics ... but I dont have integrated graphics on gx660 so no way of thurning off the fan ...cpu and graphic card are heating to fast so the fan need to spin all the time

If we can underclock everything the cpu and G card than maybe .. But I heard of some bad graphic glitches when graphic card is underclocked alot

[smitty123]

i ran msi afterburner and turned down the clock speeds on my vidcard

stock: 575/1150/1500
lower clocks at: 525/1050/750

it does absolutely nothing for fan speed and noise. it takes too long to become a low noise and still too prime and ramps up the fan speed too quickly.

i'm thinking at this point i need a firmware hack for this, or a new silent design fan.

so any suggestions?

Custom firmware for GPU underclocked with fan settings from 0rpm and up ..not from 30 and up like now and Cpu can be adjusted in unlocked Bios
But like I said GPU is probably not gona work on very low clock.
Thats why manufacturers make laptop's with two graphics one integrated and one non integrated and you can switch between them so if you want noiseless laptop and long lasting battery use integrated graphics and for gaming use non integrated. But I have Gx660 with only One graphics Radeon HD 5870m and I cant stand noise all the time comming from the fan so I need to find solution too or to sell Gx660 and buy another laptop with two graphics.

nvidia or msi for some reason decided to remove or not include optimus in this laptop or the vid card.

such a pity too, it would surely help during idle times.

Does everyone here have the GTX570m in a MSI GT780? The reason I ask this is because I have the Barebones model (1761) which uses the same exact parts and the only time I ever hear my fans running is when I am in high performance mode and using demanding software or gaming. I usually stay in Balanced mode when surfing the web and the fan is silent. You literally have to put your ear next to the vent to hear it running.

I don't know if anyone has tried but I think the Pro version of Hardware Monitor Pro has fan speed controls. The free version will not have them.

Also, has anyone tried Speed Fan?

[smitty123]

i hear it just sitting idle, it woooshes up and down idle.

Some icons in tray area, nothing that requires the cpu really just status stuff (intel rst, msi klm, realtek), razer mouse icon, no AV (for now just doing tests).

speedfan is a wash, it shows no controlers in the options, no fans.
hwmonitor should display fans either way, just pro controling them, right?

Just curious, what version is your vbios (GPU-Z should say) and what driver? I just got a Force 1761 and am having this loud wind up of the fan (happens probably once a minute for 10-15 secs), when browsing the web and other light tasks. Temps at the time of fan spin up are around 35-40*(C) GPU and 45-50*(C) CPU. I have the newest stable driver (285.62). I haven't played any demanding games yet, but my temps in League of Legends were like 60* max.
