MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 5.1 + Rx 580 .. fans and high temperatures !! Help
Hello lads,
I have recently installed on my Mac Pro 5.1 mid 2010, a Shappire Rx 580 8gb gpu, but I have a problem with the fans always running and high temperatures 73 degrees 75 even 79
I didn't have this problem with the ati 5770 even though the video resolution was lower with the 32 inch 3840x2160 monitor
With the Shappire rx 580 I'm taking full advantage of the resolution
I would not want it to be the HDMI cable instead of the Dpi
How can I solve?
A thousand thanks

High temperatures where exactly? 79ºC for the northbridge is way over, should not go over 76º ever, but not for the CPU.
Btw, did you fully cleaned your Mac Pro internals recently? Checked the northbridge heatsink push-pins? Re-pasted the heatsink/CPU? Checked the RTC battery voltage?
It's a 10 to 12 years old Mac, you have to do preventive maintenance.

I think he mean the GPU temperature.
Many Sapphire RX580 actually use 75C as the target temperature
Which means, run at 75C is absolutely normal. In fact, the GPU trying to stay at that temperature (as long as the work load is high enough to do that).
And short fluctuate to 79C is also normal.
From memory, for Sapphire RX580, the fans should stay at zero RPM when the GPU temperature below 60C. Once above that, the fans will spin up, but stay at very low RPM, and let the GPU keep warming up to 75C. Then the fans will spin up more and more if the GPU temperature tends to go above 75C. Once the fans reach the max RPM, GPU temperature then can go up to 85C, then thermal throttling occur and let the GPU stay at 85C.
Anyway, as long as the GPU can stay at around 75C, there is nothing to worry about. AFAIK, stay at a relatively constant temperature can reduce thermal cycle waring. It's better to let it stay at 75C, but not keep fluctuating between 35C and 75C (of course, stay at 35C is even better, but that's not a realistic target).

The fans on the GPU should definitely not be running all the time.Hello lads,

They will only spin up when under load.

Download the free Mac Fan Control software - you can set temps to whatever you like. https://macs-fan-control.en.uptodown.com/mac

instal the iStat, u can control better what exactly is too hot, even in single trail, when export some fcpx intro, or some huge file in ps ( 2gb ) I creat an profile with some temps, and the stat control my fans, never be near the limit, and the GPU never get too hot too

Depends on a few things. if high OAT and multiple monitors connected, most likely the fans will spin all the time.The fans on the GPU should definitely not be running all the time.

Solved problem that I did not see more videos, with new 8k displayport cable vesa certification, reset default resolution (3840x2160) and made osx check for updates and everything is updated.
But the problem of fans + high temperatures remains .... it happens to me especially when I visit websites (like here on the forum) and scroll quickly through the pages .. bho I don't know what to do

Thank you guys
Istat costs € 9.99 .. once it was free
I have Mac fan control and Tg pro alternatives
When I browse 8k photo example on google images, it starts to get up in rpm and temperature, I don't know if that's the case for you too
I thought that I would not have undermined the gpu for such use

Scrolling through websites quickly shouldn't cause any dramas with the Sapphire RX580 - I had one running with a 5K screen at 5120x2880 and websites wouldn't bother it.Solved problem that I did not see more videos, with new 8k displayport cable vesa certification, reset default resolution (3840x2160) and made osx check for updates and everything is updated.

Even watching 4K video from Youtube did pretty much nothing. I would have to run Zwift at its maximum detail then the RX580 warms up to 75ºC and the fans spin up.

I'm sorry, but you can't just say "help, my fans are going nuts!" without giving us more details, man...
What OS are you using?
Are you using OpenCore? If so -- Do you have Lilu and WEG enabled? What about other boot args?
This is a wierd issue, but until we know answers to the above, I don't know how else we can be of assistance
