Hello, yesterday i receibed and installed my 3080ftw3 , all worked okey (All 3 rgb zones working perfect), after i install the precisionX1 V1.1.1 and update when the program ask for it, suddenly the leds goes off from the side and rear, top led was the only works after the update.
When i try to change on the X1 software the rgb settings, sometimes crashed when choose apply button and others dont show the button.(side and rear rgb)
The top led work fine, change modes and colors in the software.
I try to turn off the pc and change de Bios switch but nothing bring to life the leds.
Next i updated the bios with the forum Beta bios and nothing, only works the top led .
The Gpu only have 1 day of use and this things scary me.
Other people have this problems but for the moment we dont have response from Evga.
Thanks

    Did you install the  "standalone" version of X1 ?
     
     
    Might want to try a Power flush
     
          1 - Shut down
     
          2 - Unplug PC & anything connected to PC that is plugged into the wall (monitor, printer, USB hub ...)
     
          3 - Now hold "start button" in for 20 sec to discharge capacitors ....
     
          4 - Plug in & reboot

    Thanks,
    Yes , x1 standalone version.
    I did this, on other posts somebody post the dischargue method. But no, my leds dont come back.
    Now i have some random Windows freeze, Next black screen for 2/3sec and back to normal, with a spike of 1800mhz. I change the power management on nvidea global to Max performance.
    Later i do more tests.
    Thanks

    Hello, having the same issue but it appeared out of nowhere after 2 weeks of use. The main rgb strip on the card started to blink periodically and sometimes only a half of it was working. But it seemed to work fine at the end of the day. And the next day it’s gone. The only RGB that's working is EVGA logo on the backplate. What could be the problem?

    Tried to flip the BIOS switch on it and reboot multiple times. I’ve also tried to make a clean windows install with only Nvidia drivers and Precision X1 installed after that, reseated the card in PCI-E slot, turned off power and hold power button for 2 minutes. None of it helped. I’ve sent a ticket a week ago via website and still didn’t receive an answer from EVGA as well. Could it be firmware issue? I've seen at least 5 guys on this forum with the exact same problem.

    This happened to me a few weeks ago when my card arrived, and unfortunately I had to RMA the card as a result.  I hope you find a better solution, but that's what tech support had me do.  I don't know whether it was a defect with my card or if the firmware update went wrong, but as soon as I did the (forced) firmware update the first time I opened x1, all the rgb on my card went dead with no way to address it from within x1 (the rgb button in x1 was completely gone), and the right-most fan completely stopped working as well.  I'd check to see if all of your fans are spinning properly if I were you.

    Russia. Don’t even think that RMA from EVGA is possible in here. Maybe my store might help, but trying to figure out if it’s software/firmware first. Getting it returned will be a problem for me
