Annoying 2080ti fans all of a sudden

I'm soon to invest in a new system with the 4090 card, but for now I have the 2080ti and it's been working great for years now. My work generally consist of rendering in Blender over night and working during the day, but I had a pause in my work where I shut down my computer completely and now the fans on the 2080ti (Asus) keep themselves at a high pitch running level even during no workload at all. It's to the point that I can't work because the sound is so annoying that it affects my ability to work. 

 

Why did my 2080ti card start behaving like this just because I had my computer shut off? I tried to install a new version of GPU Tweak (from version II to III) and did a new benchmark but it still keeps those annoying fans running. I even removed the card and did a thorough dust clean but nothing changed. It's like the card just won't "listen" to anything.

First, make sure you're not using the latest Nvidia driver. It runs the gpu at 100% for some users.

 

Then, replace the GPU fans. Asus uses terrible low quality fans that wear out in roughly 2 years.

Thanks! I updated to the latest in order to see if that was the problem, but it was the same. I currently have 526.47.

Not sure it's worth upgrading the fans now since I'm gonna upgrade to the 4090 soon, but why did the fans not sound like this when the computer were running 24/7? Only after it had been shut off for a couple of days did it start doing this. It's like if the fans were fine when they were constantly spinning, but after a pause they became annoying?
