As annoying as the sound can be , if you stay in a lower gear and just accept the higher RPMsspeed ratio , when you take your foot off of the gas the engine breaking helps quell the hill effect . <| sep |> I ' d let him give me a reacharound though <| sep |> Interesting . I ' m no pro by any means but your issue could have something to do with these separate programs working against each other to control your gpu . I prefer afterburner as my main gpu manager so what I would do is delete all your gpu programs other than afterburner and restart your computer . I would then only use afterburner for your overclocking and fan curves . It should work on startup without needing to be opened but let us know if that doesnt work
