I recently got an Asus GTX 1060 6GB used and upon installing it in my PC I noticed that both of the fans were not spinning after I booted my PC. I thought I wouldn't be able to install drivers without the card overheating, but everything was fine. I have to wait for Afterburner to autostart for my fans to work, but the card has not overheated or had any issues yet. Is this normal or did I do something wrong? I had a GTX 960 4GB from msi before.
 
Solution
It might just be 0rpm mode which is fairly common in graphics cards nowadays and is nothing to worry about.
The fans will start spinning automatically once the gpu reaches a high enough temp.
