my strix 970's fan that is near the io spins at max rpm while the other fan is at 0 rpm
both fans should be at 0 rpm until 60 C (0db feature)
controlling the fan speed through msi afterburner/gpu tweek can only control the 0 rpm fan the other one spins at max no matter what
can you help me please i have tried plugging the card into a different pcie slot but the problem is the same
I'm running latest nvidia drivers and I'm pretty sure its not a software problem cuz i did a clean install of win10 and drivers
searching around the Internet someone that has a similar issue to me fixed it by unpluging the fan connection on the pcb and plugged it back
looking around my card i noticed the following: the normal fan is connected directly to the fan connector on the pcb
the other fan (the one with the problem) is connected to an extention that connects it to the fan connector on the pcb
i want to unplug it and plug it back but it's kinda difficult and i don't want to damage my card. should i do it ? any advise is welcomed
please note i can't RMA/return it because i live in iraq and the shipping is very expensive (almost the price of a new card)
the card runs normally in all games without any problems just its noisy due to this fan problem
