Hi
I just installed my new MSI GTX 970 OC gaming and I just noticed that the fans (both) starts and after 1 second shuts down again.

The card is doing that ALL THE TIME. Even at 35° idle temp.

I´m using afterburner and HWinfo to test and record this issue.

I don´t understand why.

Is this normal?

Ambient temps are high. 26°C.

And I also tryied and the fan goes up to 100% on manual and I can set it off again without problems.

The issue is the constant ON / OFF of the fans...

help me please
 
Solution
Just keep using the Msi until you hear back from them. If you have to RMA it so be it. If you don't want to wait get the zotac. Personally I'd wait for the Msi but that's just me.
It's happening again to my GPU, I set a fan curve where the fans should not spin when under 55c, however, when it's under 55c, the fans will be stuck on 9%-10% and it will start and stop every 1-3 seconds.

My current NVIDIA driver is 368.81 GTX 1070
