Fans not running on GPU at all

Hi, While building my daughter a PC I knocked the graphics card off the table :(. There didn't look to be any damage and it boots up into windows and works fine except now the fan doesn't run at all.

I just ran enslaved and it got up to 80 degrees in a couple of minutes which is when I noticed the fan wasn't spinning. When I power up the system the fan spins for a few seconds then turns off, MSI Afterburner shows 20% fan speed and even if I change it manually it doesn't spin up.

Is there anything I could have missed as I'm assuming the fan works as it spins on start up but could I have broken the onboard fan controller maybe? Is there any way to fix this, or is it a new card?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, Its an R7 260X, the fan doesnt run no matter what I do so I've now plugged it into the motherboard and running it from a system fan port :) seems to keep it cool enough so far.
