Hello all, I've been using an Asus ROG MARS 760x2 OOTB on a dual screen Mavericks build without problems, then I moved to Clover+Sierra (10.12.4), the card is detected and works BUT the fan's speed repeatly rises up & falls down making a huge noise.

I've tried using latest Nvidia web drivers, fan control apps, updated fake_smc+sensors, changed sysdef from imac 14,2 to macpro 5,1... with no results, ¿anyone has succeded installing sierra with this card? ¿any ideas to solve the fan's speed problem?

Thanks in advance !

Thanks for the suggesntion Solidww, but I tried both, Nvidia and Apple drivers with no results, the process was:

1. Backed up Mavericks 10.9.4 build over ssd with Chameleon [sysdef MacPro 3,1]. The card works fine with system drivers.
2. Installed clean Sierra 10.12 with Clover [sysdef iMac 14,2] to brand new ssd. --> Card fans spinning at top speed.
2. Restored old user to Sierra from Time-Machine. --> No change in fans, everything else works OK.
3. Tried Nvidia drivers for 10.12, fan control apps, updated fake_smc+sensors... --> No success.
4. Updated Clover to latest version, then Sierra & Nvidia drivers to 10.12.4. --> No success.
5. Finally tried changing sysdef to MacPro 5,1 with Clover Configurator and tested Nvidia & Apple drivers --> No success.
6. Surrender, cry & ask for help... :banghead:

I think it has to do with Sierra not dealing well with 2-in-1 card architecture, as the ROG MARS works basically as two 760 cards in SLI using just 1 PCIe slot...
