Question One GPU fan running at full speed

[NimbleOrange]

I have a Sapphire RX 580 4gb gpu with two built in fans. When I boot my PC only one of the fans spins, at full speed. The other one doesn't move. This means the gpu is very loud and distracting, any fixes?

Have you tried and taken note of the second fan, if it's rotating slightly but isn't able to move(due to dust/debris or even a hair follicle)? You could breadboard the system to get a better view of the GPU.

On second thoughts, please list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:

Sounds like either the fan went bad or a connector came lose in the card. If its still under warranty send it in, if its not you could pay to get it repaired (although the cost may not be worth it) or if your comfortable open the card up and see if you can find a lose connector or take a multi-meter to the fan.

Both fans should spin up for a second at the start up, and if one fan is on full while the other isn't moving it definitely sounds like a hardware issue.

The thing is after a while of playing a game like Rainbow Six Siege, the GPU's fans both turn on at normal speed so I don't think it's hardware

Hmm sounds like normal operation then.

You could try MSI Afterburner to set a custom fan curve or use Sapphire's Trixx software (I know nothing about it) and dial in a fan speed that works for you.

I'm downloading it now

Now both fans are spinning but very fast (the gpu is at around 24c)
