NVIDIA GPU fan revving and fluctuating fan speed

bluecew

My RTX 2060 is only a couple days old and I just noticed that it has an issue with the fans. So when I am playing a game, I can constantly hear the GPU fans rev at random times really loudly. On the MSI Afterburner display monitor, I can see the fan speeds fluctuate to 100% for like one second and then go back down to the normal fan curve at random times, making a loud noise that sounds like wind. Upon googling this issue I can see that many people have it with the RTX cards and many just ended up returning the card. Setting a custom fan curve in MSI Afterburner doesn't fix the problem. I think I have a faulty fan controller chip on my card causing the fans to rev randomly during gameplay, should I return my card and request a replacement? Or is it fine to keep using since I don't want to bother with the extremely long shipping times? I am an unlucky person and I keep getting defective computer hardware, buying computer hardware online is basically a 50/50 chance for me to not get a defective item (Amazon).

I suppose it's probably fine.. But if I  was spending $$600 on a GPU I'd want it to be working as advertised.
