It should kick in at some point, run a stress test like furmark's burn test and see if they kick in.

Define "hot". I believe Gigabyte is one of the manufacturers that has its cards set by default to not kick in the fans until ~60C.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Download MSI afterburner and set a custom fan curve in the settings.
