Hello mate. I believe it's not an issue. I think all GTX 10xx series cards have i don't know how it's properly called but half-passive cooling, that means when card is in idle and temp. is low about 25 - 30 celsius fans are not working.
I was exactly the same worried while first pluged in my gtx 1070, then did some research and found out what's on.
What u can do is download app like msi afternurner or nvidia inspector and let's say manually set the fan to 100% power and see if they work ;)

Hello m8, I have the program called xtreme gaming engine that lets me customize the rgb lights and fan speeds, and ive put it on 100% and it works perfectly fine, i was just worried cause its my first "gtX", but thanks for the explanation anyways, cheers!
 


yes you are correct its semi passive cooling

though you are way out on the temperatures

usually 60--65c before they spin
