By default, fans should be running on this card. You have to jump extra hoops to make manual fan control available. If fans are not running then it is a hardware problem, with fans themselves (dead, clogged with dirt, etc.), or faulty fan controller chip on card PCB. Some newer cards (From GTX10xx series, I think) have so called "silent mode", which doesn't turn on fans until GPU temperature is about 40-50 C.Hi, I have an Nvidia GTX 970 with driver 535.216 on Debian 12.9. The fans don't generally come on on the video card, and if I let it get to the mid 90s it crashes. Sometimes the driver behaves and holds the card in the mid 60s, but not always. As a workaround, running with one monitor disabled lets it keep up by passive radiation. Is there an easy fix to this ("don't use Nvidia" is probably not easy at this point)? Thanks.
Do not overheat your VGA, it will die without proper cooling. -- With kindest regards, Alexander. Debian - The universal operating system https://www.debian.org
