Awesome to hear, thanks for the update. Did customer service mention anything about the firmware update aside from “it’s coming soon?” Version number, or info about the underlying cause? Thanks again.

It would have saved me the trouble of taking everything out and RMAing it too :(

Double posting because I just checked the Precision X1 site and saw a new version released today.
 
Will download it and see how it performs later today.
 
From the website:
Version 1.1.7.0
Release: 2/1/2021

• Fixes Power / GPU temperature target link issue
• Fixes fan link issue

Yup. Same here. I was all excited for this to be it.

Can you try this Precision release?

No firmware prompt for this version either? FTW3 3080 has same fan revving to max speed issue.

I'll just throw this out there, too:

My knowledge of how all these things fit together is admittedly limited (so please *politely* correct me if I'm wrong), but it seems like the driver you're using has an impact on what's going on with the fans, too.  I use driver 457.51, which definitely has some issues, but the issues with all of the later drivers seem far, far worse - at least for me (I've tried a few and kept having to use ddu to revert back to 457.51 due to problems).  On top of that, there is both the firmware you're using that PX1 installs as well as whatever bios you have installed - and the PX1 software itself.  All these pieces seem to fit (or not to fit) together in weird ways.
 
If you've installed a hybrid kit like I did, I was initially told to first install the hybrid bios and then to install the increased power limit bios on top of that, which is how I did it. The firmware has been updated a couple of times as newer versions of PX1 come out, of course.  My card is a 3080 ftw3, and after installing the hybrid bios it does indeed show up as a hybrid card in PX1 with two fans instead of 3, although it doesn't say which one is the pump and which one is the air fan).  For some reason, driver 457.51 performs far better than the other drivers (way fewer problems with flickering, framerate and whatnot), but it also makes my card run hotter.  I don't know if that's a fan issue or not.
 
I use corsair fans controlled by icue for the radiator, and that part works fine, but the fan speeds for the one air fan and the pump in the hybrid kit appear to display weird values, and I've been wondering if the increased temps I'm seeing have something to do with X1 not controlling those two fans properly, or if PX1 is just displaying them incorrectly - but I don't know, and I've kind of given up on trying to fix it, because the way the whole thing works seems like a giant mess to me.   I know that others don't have these kind of problems, and I'm happy for them, but it's been pretty frustrating for me.  Incidentally, it's all made more confusing by the fact that when you install the bios (either the hybrid bios or the increased power limit bios), the cmd window that pops up to perform the install actually says it's installing *firmware*, not a *bios*, which led me initially to believe that the firmware and bios on these cards were the same thing - but they are not.  EVGA should really change the wording in the cmd window bios update instructions, in my opinion. 
 
At this point, I'm just hoping that Nvidia will release a good, stable driver soon and that the alleged new version of PX1 that is coming out soon will fix it.  I haven't installed 1.1.7 yet, partly due to the horror stories I've read about here on the forums, and partly due to the fact that the update button in PX1 is still telling me that 1.1.6 is the latest version, which makes me suspect (perhaps incorrectly) that EVGA is aware that there are problems with 1.1.7 and are holding off on having PX1 update to it automatically, even though you can download it from their site.
 
Just my two cents (or 200 cents as the case may be given this post ended up being way longer than I initially intended).
 

I notice that the release Jacob is recommending is 1.1.7.1, whereas the official release is 1.1.7.0.  Does Jacob's version fix the problems people were complaining about in 1.1.7.0?  I skipped that one due to what I read about it but might give the one Jacob linked a shot.

Yah I just tried the link Jacob posted, installed and still no firmware update also fans still ramping up. This is getting bit frustrating now.

Well at least they are clearly aware of the issue and working on it. Hopefully will be resolved soon

Do you have EVGA Precision for Game Bar installed? I have a feeling all problems come from it.

I got my RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra and bought the separate Hybrid cooling kit and updated the BIOS to the Hybrid Ultra XOC, and my radiator fans will spin up to max RPM. I updated Precision X1 and got a firmware update, but my fans will still spin to 100% during heavy load. I've tried setting the fans to a fan curve and even setting them to a static rpm but they still ramp to 100% every few minutes during gaming. Hopefully it's just a software issue because I only have one of these cards :^)c

Where did anyone state that EVGA is aware of the issue? 
 
I went through RMA process with replacement unit doing same thing and no one acknowledged the issue still.

Yeah I don't think they're actually aware of this issue at all, it was some guy who told people in a post that they updated his firmware and it was fixed but I think it was a seperate issue, and nothing to do with hybrid. The fans ramping is driving me crazy.

Can EVGA or anyone shed some light to this issue please we need a fix.

It’s been a while and the latest version of Precision is still Version 1.1.7.0. Is there any fix coming?

Ive still got the issue and I legitimately play less because of it. I’m glad my card still works but am really disappointed with this fan issue. I know I can plug it into my motherboard but that is not the right solution for this.

100% Absolutely with you on this man. I would really love to know if they're even working on this issue. I actually bought new fans just to see if it'll be any quieter. We shouldn't need to do anything extra for a product we bought to work properly. Huge let down.

I had many emails with support since December 2020. There was no real help provided. I asked to involve engineering team in this, it went nowhere. There were usual attempts to blame other software installed on my PC. There were attempts to blame me for installing me wrong as well. Then hybrid cooler was replaced by RMA, it made no difference. Now I am asked to RMA video card itself. I was prepared to do that, removed hybrid cooler, installed original cooler, put it in PC, flashed original BIOS and everything was back to working normally. I decided not to bother with RMA and hybrid cooler no more. I am not going to spend another cent on EVGA. I suggest everyone else to toss hybrid cooler and forget about it. We will not get help here.

Man, I have been tempted to do this as well the only thing putting me off is finding replacement thermal pads for the air cooler. Any chance you can point me in the right direction? And if you have any re-assembly tips I'll take those too, ha.
