I updated to Nvidia drivers 399.07 and my GPU would hard crash with artifacts displayed on my monitors.
 
I thought it was the drivers, so I rolled back. So far, no crashes. However, I came across one of the fans, the fan closest to the back of the card, typically towards the back of the case when inserted, that is not spinning automatically.
 
I need to sort of give it a little push with my finger for it to start. This is when temps are well at 70c, and also when I turn the fan speed to 100% in precision X.
 
I did a DDU and reinstalled the nvidia drivers prior to 399.07. 
 
My question is, would this warrant an RMA? And would cross shipping be valid in this situation or would I have to have EVGA likely replace that fan shroud and be without a card for a few days?
 
Thanks

I'll have to double check that if it's spinning on a cold boot.
 
Is there a temperature at all in which the 1080ti ftw3 could crash? I saw temps on core hitting around 75-76c (hottest ive seen, with that one fan not working) and then my displays would lock up with diagonal square artifacts, forcing a hard reboot.
 
After using DDU and reverting my drivers, I have not seen this issue. But I also push started that back fan and it was running after that, and my temps haven't hit 70's again.
