Hi all, so last week one of my 1080ti died on me..i have a rma authorization for it, Today i finally get time to arrange shipping and steal the 1080 from my girlfriends little used pc to put in its place for now..its not actually stealing i paid for it! lol, installed the 1080 and had a quick blast of crossout..long story short the card seemed to get quite hot while making a lot of fan noise, thought maybe i had unplugged a case fan or something accidentally so had a look..everything is normal other than the right fan on the gpu is not spinning, then it starts kinda twitching back and forwards!? Tried all the usual fixes like ddu, reinstalling the card, sometimes it seems normal when i boot up then it ramps up one fan and the other becomes erratic..after a hour of messing around im quite sure its the card, did a google in case i had missed something and i find lots of talk about bad fan controllers on this model. If i have to get a rma could i send both the cards at once to save on shipping costs? Also any advice on the fan issue would be greatly appreciated before i start a possibly unnecessary rma.
 
Thanks for any help/advice.   

Thanks for the reply, yes its cheaper..i can fit two boxed in one large box for 1 euro more.. saving quite a bit as i live in Ireland. 
 
To your other point it appears the card was like this before i moved it and its a coincidence..unless you think my motherboard has a fault that only effects evga cards? i had a old 7970 in it running fine until today..swapped back and its fine still, i wouldn't have put the 1080 in without testing something cheaper on the board first.. now im worried as i was going to get another of my 1080ti from my sim rig to use in this machine as the 1080 could be bad. I have other cards to test the board with just not to hand at the moment. And the 1080 has the same issue back in the other system although i guess that's not much help.

Hi evilhubsway,
 
If you do ship both of your cards in one package then I would make sure your courier offers enough insurance cover just in case of damage or loss in transit.
The value of that package will be quite high with a 1080 and 1080 Ti in there.
 

Hi Propian, you make a good point about insurance, thanks for the heads up..it actually works out even cheaper for the correct coverage in a single parcel rather than two.
