Question Fan on a Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti Turbo 11G will either not spin or jump to 100% randomly

I have been searching around the internet for hours to find other people that have had the same issue, and the only thing i found was this video on youtube,

, I tried to do what he did in the video, but since I don't have a zotac card, I dont have access to the spectra tab he shows, I also tried the Gigabyte Aorus software but i cannot find the "Fan Stop Setting" anywhere.. Does anyone know what to do?

I made a same thread about this 4 hours before you did. I've copied and pasted my original thread below. Did you happen to update your windows by any chance? I noticed this issue right after updating from a version in 2018 to the current version. Ive also tried the fan stop method but it doesnt seem to work for me too.

Original Thread:

I have the Gigabyte GTX 1080ti OC 11Gb GPU and I've been having the following problem with its fans:

Once they get going after the minimum threshold (50DegC) they do not stop.

I've tried to use HWMonitor, Speedfan, MSI AfterBurner and Gigabyte's EXTREME software(one by one) to set the fan speed curve. They do turn on the fans when I want.

If I fix the speed to 5% they seem to go immediately to 100% and sound like a lawn blower. I can't seem to make it revert back to 0% at all, only by restarting the PC. Temperature is FINE but the fans wont stop!

The problem is they do not decelerate. Even if I fix the speed to 0 rpm manually they do not stop.
What I've seen is that none of the programs I've tried seem to detect the fan speed. It is always 0rpm.

Ive already tried reseating and cleaning the gpu, updating the driver, and updating my motherboards BIOS to no avail.

my windows updates automatically, so I am assuming that i am up to date.

Im going to try to change the thermal paste on my gpu and reinstall an older version of windows. Its been 3 years since i got this card so i dont think it will be possible to RMA it. Hopefully it is a software issue.

Tried fresh install of windows and reformatting the hard disk. No dice. 🙁

Don't know if anyone will care, but I may seemed to have fixed it! The gpu fans still run at a high rpm on ultra settings but goes back to its normal speed once the temperatures go down. So i guess thats normal now?
