GPU: GIGABYTE AMD RADEON RX 6600 XT
CPU: RYZEN 5 5600X
MOBO: MSI GAMING PRO CARBON AC
My situation is pretty unique in that I have never seen anyone else on the internet encounter my issue. Basically what the title says. GPU fan will ramp up to 100% initially when playing gpu intensive games, and the fans typically cut in from their zero rpm state at temperatures above 55 degrees celsius. Funny thing is HWInfo will show it running at 33% (minimum fan speed for this series of cards), while GPU-Z will show it running at 44%. After playing a gpu intensive game like modern warfare for about half an hour or so, the fans will finally quieten down and start following my fan curve. At this point, HWInfo will be showing the correct fan speed according to what I have set in the fan curve in Adrenalin software while GPU-Z will continue to show a percentage that is not in accordance with my fan curve. And might I add, I'm not entirely sure if it actually runs at 100% rpm given that HWInfo and GPU-Z says otherwise, but the noise generated is so loud that I'm confident that it runs at 100% rpm.
Also might I add, the noise is mainly generated from the middle fan. When I manually stop the middle fan from spinning using my finger, the noise goes away, thus making me think that only the middle fan is running at 100%, while the 2 other fans are running at their set speeds.

Things I have tried to solve this issue:
- Using DDU and resintalling drivers, even rolling back to older versions
- Taking apart GPU, cleaning fans, making sure all pwm connections are solid, cleaning out the fans, reapplying thermal paste for GPU
- Trying third party software like MSI afterburner but to no avail
- Resetting CMOS
