Hey guys,
I have just finished building my first pc and after I booted the device everything worked but the fans on the GPU stops after a while. I don't know if that is normal. I have EVGA 650w with two separate 8 pin (6+2) cables connected to the GPU.

Thanks for the help in advance

If you have the TwinFrozr cooling system, then it is normal. My MSI GTX 970 does the same. It will turn on fans, if it hits 60° or so on load and turn it off at low load and low temperature times. If you start the pc, then the system will test if everything is ok and test the fans.

Does the fan start rotating on heavy gaming and high load?

ZERO FROZR

Smart cooling, stay quiet.
MSI’s Twin Frozr V Thermal Designs are equipped with ZeroFrozr technology which was first introduced by MSI back in 2008. ZeroFrozr technology eliminates fan noise in low-load situations by stopping the fans when they are not needed. Compared to other graphics cards, there is no continuous hum of airflow to tell you there’s a powerful graphics card in your gaming rig. This means you can focus on gaming without the distraction of other sounds coming from your PC.
