Are your temperatures still okay? If they are it might be a faulty sensor on the fans. Check in your case if you can actually see the fans spinning.

Most new GPU's don't spin fans until they get around 50-60 Celsius. It's some weird noise reduction/energy saving feature I guess. If you don't like it, get Afterburner and create your own fan curve. It's pretty much a standard setup at this point.

I've checked in the case and its not spinning, the temps wont go over 50c, at what temp will the fans start?

Depends on the GPU but 50 seems to be well in the safe zone where fans just don't spin.
