So I contacted seller and they just say “it worked when I shipped it”. eBay.... it’s almost 3 years old judging by manufacturing date so I doubt contacting MSI will be much help? the card is a MSI Radeon RX 580 4G OC The temperatures seem to read correctly. I even tried to control it manually with afterburner and it wouldn’t spin at all. You both suggested flashing bios. So maybe I’ll give that a try? I’ve done it once before in a 470. The thing is it had worked fine for 3 weeks. So do you think bios could have somehow messed up? Or is reflashing the bios almost similar to just reloading Windows and hoping it fixed the issue? lol. if I can’t figure anything else out I’ll maybe strap some case fans to it like both of you suggested. It’s already a potato so it might as well be even goofier looking. thanks

So I was moving my RX 580 amongst two rigs doing some testing and I don’t know when or why, but at some point my gpu fans stopped working. I didn’t realize it until running a benchmark and the screen went black and the fan kicked to 100% and wouldn’t stop until a manual unplug. I was actually attempting an OC in my cpu at the time so I thought I just had a bad OC. But then upon reboot I realized that the problem was my gpu fan wasn’t spinning at all. My card does have a zero rpm function but I turned that off and tried using afterburner to set manual speeds. The fan still didn’t move. They also don’t spin on startup or without a hard drive plugged in either. They seem totally dead, only I know they physically still work because they will spin at 100% if I let it overheat to the point of a safety shutoff. I also tried it on another rig and had same problem and even borrowed fans from an rx 470 and swapped them. Still wont spin. do you think I screwed up something on the gpu board maybe? I can’t find anything on google about the video output still working and the fans (At least power) physically working, but they will only kick on after an overheat shutdown. If I fried the fan controller or something I’m wondering about somehow powering the fans externally? I also just bought the card like 3 weeks ago. What an idiot. lol
