So you're running an EVGA geForce RTX 3080TI FTW3 and your system's running a little bit
hot or maybe it's nice and cool but it's still too loud or maybe you just don't like the way
the colors are showing on your card or they're not showing at all don't worry guys in this video I’m
going to show you from start to finish how to get all the colors looking nice on your video
card how to get the cooling just right for your system or maybe tone it down so that it's not as
loud so come over here real quick and let's get started so to start off with we're just going
to open up edge or chrome whichever browser and we'll go to EVGA.com login if you want to log in
we'll go into service EVGA software and we'll download the latest and greatest Precision X1
scroll down and you can either get it standalone Precision for steam or for game bar I’m going to
go ahead and do standalone so go ahead open it up here and we can run this from within the zip file
And basically, click next all the way through then we'll go ahead and just close out of
everything if you're running any sort of RGB software go ahead and close out of that as well
Just for now at least so we'll go ahead and open up Precision x1 so pay attention to this part
this is incredibly important this is going to update the firmware for your video card this is
going to fix a ton of issues potentially improve the performance of your video card of the fans
of the lighting a ton of different things always incredibly important
to update the firmware of your card so here we'll go ahead and just click start
This is going to take a few minutes or a few seconds and the card will get loud
Okay so now when that's done we'll go ahead and click close and Precision X1 is going
to open up with the latest firmware on the card so we have a ton of features right here
so coming over we'll start off on led from here we can change every single aspect of
the card this part may look different on your machine it all depends on what kind of video
card you have if you have any questions on it just leave it down below I reply to everything
and then from here for example this bar right over here we can go ahead and change it to
static on and then from here we just click right on this little ball here
and we can change all the colors you want pure white have it pure white you want red
You got it all here turn it off I prefer
Rainbow wave I think that looks awesome now you can get granular if you like notice that little
EVGA down there this is rainbow and that EVGA we could change it to breathing and then we can
Turn it white turn it yellow
Turn it red and we can go all those colors or we can just keep it static
on and of course we can you know just do the same thing there
And the same thing is going to apply for everything
we see right over here and you can see the lighting right over here
All right I’m gonna set this down over here
so you can see in action then I’m also going to connect the fan the three-pin fan over here
and if that happens move the cable, we can see the fan does have color is spinning up so we connected
the power to the three pin over here and then we connected the aRGB connection to the video card
then over here in Precision x1 we'll do static on now we can see we just did it
controlling it from Precision x1 through the video card onto the fan
Then we can do a breathing and like before we can change all the lighting however we'd like
Solid colors that I have breathing so
Yes it does white and it does off
Does them all and then of course the same way we can just go through every single effect here
Over here on rebar we can see if we have the resizable bar enabled now
if you don't know how to set this up I made a video I’ll go ahead and link it up above
so you guys can check it out and also at the end so coming over here to VGA1
here we have a little bit of control of the fans right now they're on auto right over here we
can see my microphone and right over here we can see a db meter I have sitting right next
to the card I moved it around and did some testing it's probably going to be one or two
db off depending on where you put it so I just wanted to give you that information so right now
it's going up and down because of my voice but if I stay quiet with the fans set to auto over here
It goes from 39 to about 42. So I’m going to go ahead and we're at about 1100 rpm
so I’m going to go ahead take it off of auto and let's bump it up to 40.
now that goes ahead and links them all to 40 because we're linked over here
So about 1200 rpms with the fans set on 40 the db meter didn't really see much of a difference
so let's go ahead and bump it up to 50. it might have seen one db or something but let's go do 50.
Okay so at 15 or at 50 percent I saw the fan rpms go up to about 15 17 and
the dba meter I saw it go as high as 46 db all right so let's go to 60.
All right so I saw the db needed hit about 49
db and the rpms were over here at 60 at 1800 rpm so let's give 70 a try
All right so we got as high as 53.9 at 2091 rpms at 70 let's go ahead and give 80 a try
All right so I saw it go up to about 58.9 or 58.5 db the fans are at 24 or 2400 rpm at 80 percent
go ahead and give 90 a try
So 2714 2700 14 rpm now 20 rpm we saw the db hit about 70 almost exactly with the fans at
90 percent that was a significant increase there so let's go ahead and give 100 a try
So I think that was 74.6 db at 3 thousand and one I’ve seen maybe three thousand
three thousand and eight rpms at a hundred percent that's pretty awesome so coming back down to earth
So
So about 39 db with 1117 rpms at auto which is 37
although when you click here it says 33 but either way we could drop it oh yeah it'll
drop down but I don't think we're going to see a considerable or noticeable difference there
Okay maybe I was wrong I saw 38 there not considerable but still decent so if you prefer a
little more control than this one of my favorite features is the fan curves so coming over here
clicking on this right arrow twice here we can see the fan curve so first off is go ahead and
enable the fan curve so I’ll click apply on that the reason behind the fan curves is for example
when the GPU hits 30 degrees the fan will go up to 40 percent when it hits 50 degrees
it'll go up to 50 percent and that's going to replicate along all the fans now for example
we can see how fast fan number three is going
I’m gonna go ahead and just bring it down right over here
And I’m choosing that fan because that's the easiest one to see right now but I’ll go ahead
and apply that now you can see how much that fan is slowing down and then we'll go ahead and then
drop it some more we'll drop it all to the same it's kind of hard to get these little dots perfect
All right
You can see how it turns on turns off now that's one of the things
that caused an issue before on previous cards maybe previous firmwares
was the fan will turn off and then turn back on so you would hear a constant click, click, click so
that's another reason I love the fan curves and then aside from you changing all the fan curves to
whatever you want some people prefer them to be higher I kind of prefer them to be higher as well
because I’m always wearing headphones but we'll go ahead and raise them here
And I don't have the microphone incredibly close but you should have been able to hear that fan
ramp up in speed and of course that's going to ramp up in cooling you can see that right over
here at 25 degrees and then let's say you don't want to deal with this and I get that under select
preset you can just maybe choose stealth you see how automatically all those fan curves go
And that slows things down all three fans are going to go slower and then this temperature
might increase but right now I don't think it will because my house is nice and cool now
quiet is going to be probably along the same
You're going from the more aggressive one I had set before just fooling around
how that ramped up and then going from that down to
what was it called to stealth how just ramped down now going to aggressive
There wasn't much of a curve but the temperature did you know the
fans would have sped up a little bit more and then of course the same way we can just raise
everything and lower everything this is one of my favorites because this will directly impact
the temperature of your GPU of course you know overclocking
and all that stuff and then raising the target are of course going to affect that but
If you raise this which it's all safe here but then you start raising your clot speed
your GPU temperature is going to increase then of course to combat that you're going to go ahead
and raise up these fan curves but again if you don't know how to play with these too much or
you don't feel comfortable just go ahead switch to aggressive the weight is going to be right now out
of the box basically after you Update the firmware EVGA is going to take care of you but I like to
take care of this on my own and then coming over here we can see the GPU clock the GPU memory clock
GPU temperature memory usage frame rate all right and then coming back over here to VGA
again we can see the entire card we can overclock the memory we can overclock the GPU
and definitely you want to play with the power and GPU temp you're overclocking it just pump
it all the way up don't worry your card's still safe so in this video we've installed Precision
updated the firmware of your video card tested the noise levels as granular as the dba tested all the
temperatures you know increasing and decreasing the fan speeds showing you the fan curves to keep
your card nice and cool or to even lower the noise level of your cards then we also played with the
RGB lighting enabling disabling all the different features of the lighting as well as connecting an
external fan with RGB lighting to the video card and showing you how that works so I’ve taken you
from the ground all the way up so let me know down in the comments what you think of this video as
