<< Solved >> RX 560 very high fan speed after wake from sleep on 10.14.4 (solved by 10.14.5 beta 2)

[borisnet]

I can't get my MSI RX 560 LP to do anything lower than 2800rpm.

It boots into Mojave there and stays there unless really taxed and then it will ramp higher.

Super frustrating

Is that new after 10.14.4 update?

At least mine (MSI Aero RX560) stays in the 1300RPM. Should be noisy with 2800RPM!

Can't say - Only ever been on 10.14.4 and now 10.14.5 beta 2 with this GPU

Not as bad as one might think - but not great and not something I plan to stick with unless I can solve it soon.

Hope they fix it in next betas...

Same here, RX560, fan kicks in all the time, was completely silence before 10.14.4.

Edit: Seems to be fixed in latest beta indeed.

I believe the issue is macos runs the card at a constant higher frequency. My card (Shapphire RX570 itx) does 300-1240 mhz, but I havent seen it go below 700mhz in macos idling.

Can everybody run this command to check if their card idles at the minimum frequency/power?

ioreg -l |grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Power\|Clock\|Utilization'

$ ioreg -l |grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Power\|Clock\|Utilization'
"Device Utilization %"=4
"Fan Speed(%)"=0

"Memory Clock(MHz)"=1000

$ ioreg -l |grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Power\|Clock\|Utilization'

EDIT: macOS 10.14.5 beta 2 (18F108f) fixed the fan speed issue after wakeup from sleep, it is confirmed with Sapphire RX 470 Nitro 4GB.

Unfortunately for me, replacing the kexts with the ones from 10.14.5 beta 2 gives some purple lines on the boot screen. However, it solves the fan bug...

Will try a clone of 10.14.4 updated to the latest beta...

Same card Shapphire RX570 itx on 10.14.5 beta 2

I've installed 1.14.5 beta 2 and my clock speeds still definitely dont go below 1000mhz. Would you mind sharing with me your EFI folder? I'm sure it must be a config issue. For starters I'm using the MacPro6,1 SMBIOS while you seem to be using the iMacPro1,1

EDIT: Also, does your card go up to 55 degrees while idling with the fan off, and then turns on the fan until temp reaches 45, again and again?
