Hello there, i'm new at the forum, didn't found a section for support on graphics cards so I posted it here (hope it was the right place) 
I have a 1060 gtx 6gb ssc, I have used it for a couple of months, i disconnected the pc and changed it to another room (it was working perfectly before that) Then i opened msi afterburner, and i noticed that gpu was hot (i have 2 on sli), I moved up the fans % but the fans just didnt moved on that gpu. Opened the oc evga and same thing, the difference was that on this one it said 0 rpm even if i get the % to 100 on the fans. 
Tried everything i could think of: 
Switched places with the other gpu
Desinstalled and reinstalled windows, upgraded everything
DDu unistalled drivers, check if needed a fix 
Still I have the same problem, i doubt that it is a problem on the hardware, since it only has a couple of months, and worked perfectly before I moved it, everything is connected correctly, fans arent dirty, everything looks just fine. Gpu works normally also. I ran a game normally with only that gpu, i mean i could try and continue to use this gpu, but only on winter I'm able to use it without its fans working, thats what im guessing
If anyone has suggestions or similar experiences, They are all welcome
Thank you

    Did you mean a different model? You cannot SLI GTX 1060's.  Why would you doubt it is the hardware? You've replaced and reinstalled pretty much everything BUT the GPU. Conclusion: Bad GPU, RMA>

    #1 Remove GPU fan shroud and make sure the GPU fan cable is fully seated and secure to the GPU PCB fan header. (On some cards you may be able to see the fan headers, so you might not have to remove the shroud.)
     
    #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.

    Sigh...sure, you MIGHT if someone is still updating a hack you  MUST use. But for the typical user, the answer is no and it is not supported there are no SLI finger on the GPU...
    So the answer is no.
