Greetings!
I have purchased my GPU on the 21st of October for Battlefield 1. It has worked PERFECTLY up until 30 minutes ago. The fans randomly began spinning extremely fast and
loud! I thought it was coming from outside, construction or something...nope, it was my GPU. I checked GPU-Z, the fans were at 0%, 0 RPM, max temp was 41 Celsius. I exited
Battlefield 1, GPU-Z still showed fan speed at 0% but the fans were still spinning like crazy! I tried MSI Afterburner and as soon as I launched the program my fans went
completely insane! Only way to revert the noise was to either restart, sleep, or shut my pc off. But after 5-10 minutes of playing, the fan noise comes back again. I have not
changed anything since yesterday, and I played well over 4 hours without a single hiccup. My CPU/GPU never exceed 45% load when I play BF1.
 
Please help! The fan that is closest to the back of the case is the one that was spinning super fast and loud.
 
Both my BIOS and Nvidia Drivers are up to date.

#1 Remove GPU fan shroud and make sure the GPU fan cable is fully seated and secure to the GPU PCB fan header.

#2 Make sure the card is fully seated to the MB. Make sure the PCI-E power cables are fully seated and secure at the PSU side & GPU side.

#3 Uninstall all monitoring software. (Precision, Afterburner, Speedfan, HWMonitor, etc.)

#4 Perform a clean installation of the most recent video drivers:

• Uninstall Precision X/MSI Afterburner if installed, make sure to select "no" to saving profiles if asked.  Reboot the PC now if you had to uninstall PX or Afterburner.
• Use  (Display driver uninstaller) in safe mode to clean out all your nvidia drivers. Use the clean and restart (highly recommended) option.
• Download & save the most recent graphics driver to your desktop. You can find the most recent graphics driver .
• Run the graphics installer located on your desktop once the download is complete.
• Select custom advanced install, under custom installation options uncheck all options except graphics driver & physx system software, if you have a 3D capable monitor and would like to use 3D at some point please select both 3D options, check mark perform clean install, then click next to install the driver, reboot when asked.

If you're still having problems after performing steps 1-4 RMA the card as the fan controller on the GPU has a problem.

Thank you Sajin for your detailed instructions. After I posted this, I called Support and spoke to a fantastic technician, gosh I wish I remembered his name. We spoke for over 45 minutes in an attempt to resolve my issue. We concluded by creating an RMA.
