    Hi people I need a little help with the fans on my gigabyte 980 ti :(

    A friend sent me hes old 980 ti and I had a problem with 1 of the fans not spinning correctly after delivery so I took it apart and re dun the paste and cleaned up the fans and played around with the problematic fan and after that it was has been working fine for a few weeks.

    But today I turned on my pc and noticed the fans were spinning at high rpm so I took a look and the bad fan was spinning slowly "So I kinda new I was having that problem again".

    But my Question to you people who understand your hardware is that there is 3 fans and they all get there power from the 1 wire that clips in to the board "yes" and that fan is the one I am having the problem with, the other two fans after that seem to be working fine but it like they are getting a higher rpm "more power"

    Is the fan controller on the actual fans or in the wire or on the board ? because I'm starting to think that the controller is the problem because msi afterburner cant even control the fans ? but it was fine before hand.
    possibly one of you legends will understand what I am trying to say and help me a little to work out the solution.

    After a few weeks on this card I don't really want to go back to my 290. and my game improved a lot Pubg Top 10 Oceania player.I don't want to go back to 1080p please help me find a solution. If i had a job I would buy a new card but this is not possible at the moment. :confused:

    Alternatively use 92mm fans if those aftermarket ones don't work.

    Then put those on mobo headers.

    Get your checked by some hardware expect it could be because fans are drawing more energy from your cardboard secondly there is an issue with fans of your card. Fans could be replaced easily with new one or you can also get them ordered from Ali Express.

    Thanks for reply's people's. Sprayed some WD-40 in the bad fan and now it seems to be good but yer I might take the fans off my old 290 and put them on the 980ti if the problem happens again. Thanks again.

    WD40 won't last long.

    You'd have to lube them with proper oil
