Hi all,
 
Just changed my 1080ti Sea Hawk X for the EVGA 1080ti Hybrid and notice that the blower fan is not spinning at all, my understanding is that it needs to be turned on so it cools the memory modules or does it only turn on after a certain temp?   I had the 980ti hybrid and most recent the Sea Hawk and the blower fan was turned on on both. 
 
Do I need to RMA this card? or is there anything I can do to fix this?
 
Thanks!

    Are you using any kind of software to control the fan on the GPU?

    I do see that you ordered the Hybrid Kit for your GTX 980 Ti previously. If your GTX 1080 Ti was also purchased separately from the Hybrid cooler then it will have the same profile as before. The shroud fan will not spin until the GPU reaches a minimum temperature of 60-65º C.
     
    You can download Precision XOC HERE and manually control the fans or set a fan curve if you would prefer this. Although this is not necessary.

    If you have a moment, please rate my service. We appreciate the feedback!

    The Hybrid kit was not purchased separately, I bought a 1080ti Hybrid.
     
     
    I use Precision X and I try to change the fan I hit apply and nothing happens the RPM stays at 0 no matter what % I change the fan curve to 20% to 100%, now you are saying the blower fan won't spin until the GPU reaches 65c ? I thought the fan was so it cools the memory.  The fan not blowing at all has me concerned, yes I had the 980 ti hybrid but I never changed the fan profile it was set to 22% on default I think.

    The fan on the hybrid should be spinning at all times. Sounds like your gpu fan controller has a problem. Here are some things to try...
     
    #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 DDU (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 here.
    • 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.
