Hello! I have this video card Sapphire r9 280x 3gb Dual X and I noticed that the fans are not spinning, When I bought the card only 1 fan was spinning and the other one was idle and came back online when it was needed but after some time i saw that the first fan (the one who was always spinning) is not spinning anymore and I'm scared cause when the fans spin the card is like 80 degrees and both of them are spinning at 100% then when the card gets to 50 degrees both turn off. When the fans turn on i can hear a slight sound of electric spark or something like that. What can I do to keep at least 1 fan always on?

The thing that concerns me is that it never did this before, I always had a fan spinning at all time. I'm scared of an overheat or the thing that my card might break. Like MSI Afterburner tells me that my fans are spinning at 168 rpm and is at 29% but the fans don't spin unless I set them above 80-85%. This is very wierd and I can't understand what made this card act like this... Oh and when i turn the fans on at full speed the temps drop to like 33 degrees in less than a minute i think the snesors are broken or something
 


If you don't mess with the settings adn overclock etc. the card will turn itself down before it gets to the danger zoen and even off completly in extreme cases. Stop worriyng and enjoy your build.
