I've been running my new EVGA 3060 XC Gaming for almost a week now and just noticed a fairly audible noise coming from one of the fans when it starts spinning up. Then I realized that the fans are in a loop, constantly starting and stopping for seemingly no reason. This happens at idle.. no software open.. nothing going on. I'm running the latest NVIDIA driver. No OC. Card is set to default. I can't attach the video or even include the link to the video unfortunately (I'm a new member). Any thoughts? 
 
**UPDATE** As soon as the GPU hits 56.5 C the fans start up, lower the temp a bit, fans stop, temp goes up, fans come on and get stuck in a loop, then they eventually stop and it starts all over again. So basically I can 1. keep it colder in my office lol 2. Crank up my case fans more or 3. Custom fan curve for the GPU so the fans are ALWAYS running at a low speed while at idle. Any other suggestions? I wouldn't really care if it wasn't for the audible noise every time the fans started spinning up..

    my 3060 ti EVGA card's fans spin at 44c and it's annoying as hell, theres no way for me to change it.

    Have both of you set custom fan curves in X1 and clicked apply?  The other option is to use Afterburner and set a custom fan curve.  One other point is to make your graphed fan curve a curve, not step increases.
     
    Full disclosure, I only use X1 for controlling LEDs on my block as I prefer Afterburner for controlling the GPU.  Also, I don't have GPU fans.

    change the fan temp hysteresis (from 0) to something like 5 -  Once the fans start, they should run until the GPU cools by 5 C
     
    try different hysteresis numbers to see what works best for your setup.
     
    Fan curve has to be set As the fan control also, there is a check box
     
    what MHz is your GPU at idle ?
     
    what display are you using @ what settings ?
     
    What hardware & how is your PC setup ?  Case, CPU cooled how ?........
