 I have noticed that the left fan is spinning and the right fan is idle. When I turn on the PC the left fan begins to spin and the right fan doesn't move. My video card doesn't reach 60 degrees C. I have read articles that both fans stay idle until temps reach 60 or 65 degrees C? I have included a photo that gives an example of my temps.
Is it normal for the left fan to run and the right fan to stay idle, does the left fan have to spin in order to keep the video card cool under 60 degrees, or could there be a problem with the video card?

    Can you make the right fan run by adjusting its speed inside precision xoc, or even precision x1?

    Those fans are able to spin on their own. They don't have to spin together and sometimes you do see one fan spinning up and the other off. Left fan goes off GPU Temp and right fan goes off Power/Memory temp. I would do what Sajin suggested and try to manually turn on the right fan using Precision X. Your GPU temps are definitely low so i'm not sure why your GPU fan would be on if there wasn't already a custom fan curve set to it.

    To Sajin and EVGATech_BrandonO,
    MY PC case is a full tower. My motherboard is a MSI Intel Z390 MEG Godlike motherboard so I don't know if the motherboard is causing the GPU fan to spin? 
    I have downloaded the Precision X1 software. The left fan (FAN 1) is automatically set at 16 and I am not able to adjust it below 16. My video card temp is 27 degrees C idle with only the left fan spinning. The right fan will spin using the software and so everything is fine with my video card.
