Trouble with 2009 Mac Pro

[daneedwards9]

Hello everyone,

I've been having some trouble getting the fans to work on my GTX-970 Video Card for some time now in my 2009 Mac Pro Tower. Any suggestion as to what it may be? Thanks.

Most likely your 970 work perfectly fine. Lot's of Maxwell card's fan only spin up when the GPU is hot.

Ok that's good to know. Is there any software out there I can download so I can control the speeds of the GPU fans myself? Thanks.

You can't do that in OS X, but there's also no reason to do that. The fans are standing still for a reason.

Its true for non-reference cooling system. If reference blower not spin up - it malfunction

Exactly......my 970 fans never come on.

My Gigabyte GTX 1080 actually lists that as a feature called "Fan Stop". And there is an indicator light on top of the card that illuminates when the fans are not running. I can see it thru the grill.
