A while ago, when I asked you for your GPU BIOS, I found a post about fan issues on the Vega; maybe you read it maybe you did not. Anyways it listed cards without a fan issue I choose to use the one below:
Sapphire Nitro+ RX Vega 56 (standard PCB): 113-D0500310-O01 (primary), 113-D0500310-S01 (secondary), 2nd version: 113-D0500310-O02 (primary)
I used the secondary with the switch flipped towards the back of the case. I used VGtab for awhile with it posted directly to my config file. However, two days ago I pulled the code out and just booted. To my surprise the fans behaved correctly at least for a Sapphire Nitro card. This means the fan shuts off at 50c and turns back on around 52c. At idle it sits around 43c so it runs a bit hotter then with the reference BIOS the MSI came with. Though I guess in this manner you can not tune the card as you have to get better performance.
Side note:
I did read that someone tuned the card in Windows, and, when they rebooted to MacOS, the settings stuck.
