GPU fans will only start to spin on high temperatures

[mick_rot]

Hi, I'm new in this forum and had an issue that's been bugging me for the past several months that I'd like to address in the hopes that I can get some advise. My deepest apologies if the topic was already addressed somewhere in the forum. I didn't find it in time.

Anyway, my MSI GTX 1050 ti GPU's fans will only start spinning after reaching 80ºc or above.
I talked to the reseller and they told me it was fine and that it could be a problem with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
I tried using MSI Afterburner, but the "default" user-defined fan speed curve gave my PC Kernel_Power 41 critical errors, so I stopped using it.
I wrote in the MSI Support website about the issue and they told me that the problem was not normal and that, either I reinstall the nvidia driver (which I did... several times) or that I ask the reseller for a refund (which I can't do because the three-month warranty expired like half a year ago).

So my question is: Is there anything I (or anyone, for that matter) can do? Or am I just screwed?

I'd appreciate any answer I can get.
Cheers.

Msi's Afterburner should work. I use it for my 1080ti w/o issue.

If you are having trouble with the preset fan curve, you can always just force it to 100% fan on while gaming, then default it when not gaming. This is what I typically do, though I sometimes just use the preset which I set to be aggressive i.e. 50c will be 100% fan, 30c will be a lower speed.

Like your card, mine also has a really lazy fan profile by default, where it won't actually hit 100% fan until it's at like 84c which is too late. Would rather have the noise and dust maintenance vs. a dead $1k card in a year. Even if a fan died early, that's a cheap fix vs. $1k gpu.

Been running all my nvidia cards of past at high fan w/o issue (GTX 550ti and GTX 970) though a very early 9800GT card had it's fan die.

Try updating afterburner. Need the newest builds meant for these cards. Otherwise try evga precision x16 or whatever is meant for the 10 series cards now.
