Hello so problem is - i got Awoved yesterday and it was saying to me that my BIOS needs an Update .
So i did just that - downloaded latest BIOS from MSI for my B760 GAMING PLUS WIFI motherboard - it went without problems - i had previous version of it - already stable one it seems but decided what the hell - if game tells me that there can be issued i went with it.
After my GPU ( RTX 4070 Ti Super ) stopped spinning it's fans in Windows or in Games - they only work while system is booting up or in BIOS .
Fiddled around in MSI center didnt found anything related to GPU fans or anything GPU related rly .
Downloaded MSI AfterBurner - and with it turned on - fans do work ( auto options ofc not gonna fiddle with it ) - but i dnt know if it's a valid solution or just a band aid.
Mind you im noob when it comes to PC inner workings .

Go to MSI Center > Cooling Wizard and turn Zero Frozr "OFF" and hit apply to see if fan starts working.
Default settings was Zero Frozr ON which stops the fan under certain GPU temperature ~50 to 60 degree C.
Perhaps your game load is not that high to make GPU temperature higher than that.

Well thing is - i'm missing this option in MSI CENTER in Colling Wizzard. When i get back home gonna make a screen.
 
Weird, which exact model is it? Gaming? Ventus etc?
And recent nvidia driver release isn't doing very well, either. Perhaps try roll back to old driver and retry.
 
I cant be certain but pretty shure GPU aint from MSI - so maybe that's why this option is missing from MSI center . Will try to roll back drivers on GPU .
Again will update when i will get back home.
 
oh it's not a MSI card, lol. Then you can ask the GPU vendor about this behavior, too. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with motherboard (since you can control via afterburner).
Ask for something like a vbios update might help.
 
You don't need MSI Center or Afterburner, the GPU has a fan curve set in its firmware. The BIOS can't change the GPU's fan curve either. It's possible that there is some kind of glitch though, and for that, you would try a Clear CMOS (bridging the two JBAT1 pins with a screwdriver while the power is removed).
