Hello, so I wanted to ask if anyone has had this happen to them just to be sure.
I have a couple Zotac 1080Ti Minis and today I noticed one of them was reporting 0 RPM from the fan, even under load. I got suspicious, I opened the PC and I found one of the two fans, the one closest to the exhaust of the card, spinning VERY slowly, while the other fan is working fine.
I took the cards out of the system to inspect them; I noticed that if I try to spin the fans manually, the broken fan resists a lot compared to the other fans... it doesn't spin freely like the others.
If I had to make an educated guess on what's going on I would say I suspect the fan bearing might be broken or have something wrong with it; I wanted to check if anyone else had a problem like this in the past.
I am thinking of sending the card back for a replacement... I only bought it in January after all.
What do you guys think?
