GPU cooler Troubleshooting

[pilotpine]

I have an odd problem with my Gigabyte Gv-N98TXTREME-6GB 980ti. I bought the card used from a friend and have been using it for the better part of 6 months and have had no issues whatsoever. It was only until I began exploring the possibility of installing a vertical GPU mount that I discovered the fan ring illumination is messed up. Instead of full illumination each fan ring has a tiny portion at the top that is lit with some colors not lighting up the ring at all. If I didn't know better I would say the lights have partially burnt out however LEDs do not burn out. I figured It could be a wiring problem but after contacting the previous owner, he confirmed the cooler has never been removed. It is also worth noting the windforce logo on the side of the card works perfectly fine. Has anyone ever experienced a problem like this, or have any ideas?
