Nvidia 30% and 0 RPM · Rem0o/FanControl.Releases Wiki
February 6, 2024 - Most notably, they won't allow to manually set the fan speed % below 30. However, most of these card still support 0 RPM mode, but will only be available if the card are left in their automatic fan control mode.

Doesn't that mean the fans aren't running? Did I do something wrong? I'm using a Gigabyte 6600 XT. The screenshot is from AMD's "Radeon Software".

It turned out that one fan was physically blocked by a wire (mini ITX is a lot of fun to build). Make sure all GPU fans can spin freely and that every fan is working; otherwise, the GPU puts the fans into a failsafe mode.

Quick path that keeps full PCIe 4.0 speed and restores tach sensors:
Update the B550M-DS3H to BIOS F20g (AGESA 1.2.0.E) with Q-Flash, then Load Optimized Defaults.
F20g moves the SMBus pins to a dedicated lane and stops the "0 RPM / 100 % fan failsafe" seen on F17x beta builds while the link is at PCIe 4.0 x16.
Keep your RTX 5070 on VBIOS F10 or newer. Those tables are already tuned for the DS3H and do not affect tach sensing.
Install AMD Chipset Driver 7.06.02.123 after the BIOS flash.
The package updates the AM4 SMBus filter; together with F20g it prevents I2C time-outs that drop the tach line.
Clean-install an NVIDIA driver that is not in the R572–R576 range (565.85 or 568.25 are safe until NVIDIA publishes a confirmed hot-fix for the sensor-drop bug).
In BIOS > Settings > Platform Power set
Native ASPM = Enabled
PCIe Link Power Management = Typical Off
This keeps the link out of L1.2 retrains that used to corrupt the side-band.
After reboot, GPU-Z should show PCIe 4.0 x16 plus a live fan-RPM read-out. Fans ramp down to 0 RPM once the core is under 45 deg C.

Roll back to the pre-570 driver branch and skip the new NVIDIA App entirely. The 572.xx WHQL package has open issues where the fan tach line gets dropped if the driver loses I2C for a split second, which triggers the fan-at-100 percent failsafe. Use DDU in Safe Mode, then install 565.77 or 568.25 and see if RPM comes back.
Editor's note: NVIDIA hasn't documented this bug in the official R572 notes, but multiple user threads report the symptom. The original download link (245310) was pulled; grab the older package from the driver archive instead.

Nvidia HUD fan speed reads 0 rpm on laptop - Graphics Cards - Linus Tech Tips
November 23, 2021 - I have recently bought an ASUS TUF F15 laptop with an rtx 3060, and find that the nvidia HUD display always shows the fan speed at 0 rpm - even with the temp at 75-80 range. ASUS own monitoring software shows GPU fan behaving normally. I’d have figured that Nvidia software would have the most acc...

[SOLVED] - [Need Help]GPU fan is running but showing 0 RPM, can't change the speed either. | Tom's Hardware Forum
July 24, 2021 - I'm already using the gigabyte xtreme app. when i mentioned in my original post that the fan speed % changes but the speed remains the same, I was doing it in the very same app. I am using it since 2016 when i built my system. Click to expand... Other than PWM cable (pls don't disassemble the cooler on your own!) I have no clue what'd cause such a problem. Faulty driver, maybe? However, if it's working at 100% the moment you turn on the PC and it goes post-POST, the temperature should be in the "idle fan-stop" range, which is why it's showing a constant 0% fan speed, so sensors and fan controls are doing their jobs correctly, but the fans don't.

Solved: gpu fan speed at 0 rpm even at high temp - Intel Community
December 4, 2023 - A-1 :this issue started when i use custom fan curve setting (i like cool temp rather than noise ) , and yes i have updated to the version 31.0.101.4953 and this was the scene , the 0 rpm only comes when i just start the pc not in between , and once i just change the % eg - 50% to 51% and i apply the settings the fan starts , its just the glitch in software mostly as i need to manually apply it

Info - Zero RPM GPU fan settings are the enemy! | Tom's Hardware Forum
February 15, 2022 - So, not hard to figure the 99°C Hotspot is just that, the hottest actual point in all the gpu's sensors and could likely stay around that temp easily, if the 'gpu temp' is what the fan curve set by 0rpm or default is reading, and it's closer to 79°C ±. Explains why nvidia starts throttling at 83°, because it knows all to well the Hotspot is getting overly close to 100°+ possibly or periodically. Click to expand... However, when I set a low but constant (no zero RPM) fan curve, the hot spot didn't get above 78ºC.
