980ti strix oc one fan not spinning?
Odd thing apparently. I ran the benchmark again and all three fans span.. came back awhile later and all three are off ( normal) started watching youtube and 2 started spinning again. Apparently the one near the I/O ports doesnt spin when the others do. Weird sense i cant find that happening anywhere or any reviews.
Ahh ok now that makes more sense . I wasn´t really that worried because of the temps you described in Heaven. With a damaged fan your temps would have been higher. Now what you have here is not a glitch it is a feature.
The fan closest to the I/O is the part of the GPU with smallest amount of heat, that´s why this fan will only start under heavy load in other words real 3D applications such as demanding games and benchmarks. The explanation for that is that your middle fan cools directly the copper heatsink of your chip therefore it is the most important one and will likely spin as the first one of the three. The one towards the end of the card cools down your the VRM package. The one to the I/O shield just helps distribute the heat better when in 3D applications.
