Hi - I also installed a Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ 4GB and the fans will stop spinning once the drivers load. I researched and this is normal for RX 480 / 580 series. The GPU will turn on fans when hot under load however you can adjust the cards bios settings under Windows. Info about the fans and temperatures here https://sapphirenation.net/sapphire-nitro-rx-580-limited-edition-technical-overview/

Hello - I have not tried adjusting the fans yet. Maybe I will later.

Hello - ok I tested Windows. Installed AMD Drivers and the Sapphire TRIX utility. Idle temps are 26c degrees which is nice and cool. I did adjust how the fans work, Saved the Profile and appears to be working in macOS also. I also find that gaming is not stable in 10.12.6 for me. Gaming in 10.13 beta is good.

Fans not spinning on idle is normal on modern cards.

There are thermal sensors on all around the PCB and they send a signal to the fan controller to spin when it reaches a certain temperature.

If they don't spin lets say at full load, then there's something wrong with the GPU.

Usually the fans are controlled by the vBIOS on the GPU and not the Operating System, unless you customize the drivers to change the fan curve.

What model of the RX580 do you have? Some work better than others.

Also for 30Hz vs 60Hz, make sure your monitor supports DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.0 if it's a 4k monitor.

What monitor do you have an how are you connecting it?

To set custom Hz, go to System Preferences > Displays > Hold [OPT] > Click Scaled > Check "Show low resolution modes" > Pick 60Hz. If it's not available then you're not connecting your monitor properly in the right port. Use DisplayPort instead of HDMI.

So, if I understand it. is not it a problem that the fan does not work? will he start when he needs it?
