GTX 970 SC Fans not working

I just recently reformatted my computer and i noticed that my graphics card fan is not working, is it because i have not installed the drivers yet?

Depends on card, some have fans turned off until specific temperatures are reached. Without drivers it may not be able to run at high enough loads/frequency to start fans up.

thing is tho that before i reformatted my PC everything was working fine, including the GPU fan. After the re-format it just wont work anymore, even when i have all the drivers downloaded and installed.

I also played a game to test out that theory that it would turn on at a certain temp, but after like 2-5 minutes it overheated and the screen just went black but the pc itself was still on
