GeForce GTX 1080 Fan issues to be solved with driver update

GeForce GTX 1080 Fan issues to be solved with driver update

A few days ago there have been reports that some founder edition card holders have a few fan issues. Under gaming the fan RPM might spike upwards in short bursts, which is hear-able. The problem has now been identified by Nvidia and will be fixed with a driver update.

While the problem is identified, Nvidia doesn't see a need for an immediate hotfixdriver.  

Manuel Guzman from Nvidia shares word on the matter. So far, the fix successfully passed internal testing at the company and Guzman has also stated that the next driver will get this fix. Users who are considering returning their cards because the problem will not need so may not do this anymore. Details on the nature of the problem allows Nvidia not known. The release date of the driver is not mentioned; Guzman simply indicated 'soon'.
  

 
In the past week were complaints show that the fan GTX 1080 Founders Edition would rotate at random moments in games at a very high speed and then the fan becomes noisy. The constant increase and decrease the speed of the fan was independent of the temperature of the card and was described as an annoying, loud sound reminiscent of 'a billowing ocean, "said one user. 

AIB pertner cards will not have this issue, as all of them willnot reach the 80 degrees C temperature ceiling.

May I kindly ask, to those who know better, if a cooler like the Founders Edition blowing the heat in the back of the computer is recommended in a closed computer case situation, like the MSI AERO?

Given that most cards with different cooler might end up at a roughly equivalent maximum OC, maybe the rear exhaust type of these cards are helping the temperature for other components inside the case?

Thanks a lot

IMHO a cooler which sucks air from the PC case and blows the heat out of the PC case is much better, than coolers sucking the air from the PC case and blowing the heat back into the PC case. The latter solution requires much more efficient (and more noisy) PC case ventilation.

agree
in my close case (silverstone FT02)
GTX780 reference is around 43C idle ... up to 80C on load
while msi GTX780 lighting 34C idle - rarely when over 70C on load

also reference cooler fans is more noisy compared to custom msi fans
