So I just got back from picking up my 1080ti from my local PC solutions store (I don't have the tools and the paste to do what was needed, and I like to support the only PC store on my island for how small it is), they removed the middle fan that was rattling and it literally fell apart in the engineer's hands lol.
He's slapped on a new coat of thermal paste and I've just plugged it in and got it running, but to my surprise, the two remaining fans are still spinning at full speed and I cannot figure out just wtf is going on. All 3 fans have seperate connectors, so I thought removing one would somehow cancel out all 3 fans trying to ramp at full speed.
I tested before taking it to the store and after with and without MSI AB running and with/without Aorus's shitty fan control software, and the results are still the same (although now there isn't a horrible rattling sound and temps are low, but it still sounds loud and I cannot tell MSI to keep the fans under control).
Anyone got any clues at all as to what this might be?. I'm thinking of doing a complete wipe oh my current GPU driver via DDU and going for the latest driver to see if that does anything (doubtful though).
I've never once flashed my GPU bios, but at the end of the day, that was something I've never thought to bother with in the first place.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
