I've been noticing an issue recently in which my 3080 FTW3 Ultra appears to be losing fan settings frequently, likely when launching a game (although, "fixing" it solves it for a little bit). I was noticing fans ramping up to audibly extreme levels while playing demanding games, and after erroneously thinking it was my CPU AIO, I realized that somehow my fans had fallen off auto-manage of their speeds, which I could see either by opening the Precision X1 desktop app or the game bar widget - for some reason the first two fans were set to 0%, and the third fan was set to 30% - which is definitely not a config I've ever set. I assume the sound I was hearing was the GPU getting close to a dangerous temperature and firing the fans full blast to bring it below the temperature limit. I've fixed it in precision by just checking off "auto" again (and it will work fine for a while), but it keeps resetting itself at least every day or so, regardless of it being applied and saved as the default profile. Given that the card is happy to respond to whatever fan curves I give it through the software, I assume this is a software issue rather than a hardware one. I do keep MSI afterburner installed to use its monitoring window, but have never used it to configure an overclock profile or control the fans (aware that it doesn't know how to handle the 3rd GPU fan on EVGA cards), nor does the issue stop happening if MSI afterburner is not running. Are Precision X1 and the the Precision Game Bar widget somehow in conflict with one another?

    Same card, same problem. Fan3 spins up to 100% while 1 and 2 were at zero. Thank you for giving a reminder about game bar widget. Completely forgot about it. I uninstalled it and it went back to normal.

    Any update on this? I also have fan issues with my 3080 FTW3 Ultra, I'm going to try the same thing.

    Sorry, forgot to update - removing EVGA X1 for game bar absolutely fixed the issue. No issues running both X1 and afterburner together or anything like that after removing X1 for game bar.

    No problem, thanks for your quick reply! I'll try to uninstall it as well and see the result.

    I looked up for the Game bar website and I found this:

    Worth mentioning that extends to them being installed at the same time, apparently - at no point did I have both of these applications running next to each other while experiencing this issue.
