Question My GPU fans are suddenly spinning very fast for several seconds and then slowing down. Is my graphics card dying?

So I'm playing a game, everything's going fine, and suddenly my graphics card decides to start spinning the fans as fast as it can. This lasts for several seconds and then it goes back to normal. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary with them when it's doing it, just running games. It'll do it every 5-10 minutes.

I've got two RTX 2080s, both are less than a year old, got both of them new. I don't do overclocking so I know it's nothing I've done with it. It started doing it on one of them a few months back, so I switched the cards and it stopped for a while. No big deal, I thought. Problem solved. Now it's started doing it again. Anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it?
