I just got a gtx 960, and when i start the pc the fans start to spin for about 15 seconds then slowly go off. i notice that the cpu fan as well is just a little weak when it goes on. I'm not sure if the card its self isnt getting enough power or what. I tryed my brothers gtx 750 ti and both fans were spinning great. the gtx 960 is new. Not sure if its an issue with the psu or not, i just built the pc please help! haha

not sure of your specific 960 but some have new smart cooling that the fans won't turn on by default until the card hits 60c.
This would be like evgas acx cooling. As I said though not sure with out knowing you specific manufacturer and model. You could dl afterburner and try a custom fan profile if you would like them to turn on sooner or just to test them.
