Hi all,
 
As you can see I'm having problems with my 1080ti FTW3. Only one fan is spinning, indeed only one fan is being seen by Precision X1 ! I have tried installing different Nvidia drivers likewise different Precision X1 versions but nothing works.
I have also tried the FTW3Flash file, however it errors with a "Device is not supported", error ! I am really worried my card is going to fry.
 
Specs:
OS; Win 10 Pro 64
Mobo; Rog Strix X299-XE Gaming
CPU; i9-9900X
Ram; 64GB
PSU, Enermax 1000w Platinmax, (tried a second PSU same problem)
 
Really appreciate it if someone out there can help, many thanks.
 
Regards.

By default the card will only start the fans if it gets to 60ºC. What are your GPU temps?

Hi.
 
Thing is I have a fan curve set so the fans should run at 40% rpm when temps is 30C they are currently hitting 40C+. Also again Precision X1 is only seeing one fan!
 
I have tried to find XOC versions but all links point me to the Precision X1 download page :(
 
Any other ideas?
 
Best regards.

Power down .. unplug from wall .... everything that connects to the PC ... FTW3 has a switch for the Second BIOS on your card .. move switch changes BIOS
 
Plug in your PC & reboot

Where is the switch Cool GTX?
 
Side note, the card has been in and out of the pc approx 6 times, thinking perhaps the seating was bad, also during a PSU swap out while trouble shooting.

Where is the switch?

 
Right beside the card's 8-pin power connectors..Sliding the switch toward the connectors is the Slave/OC position..Sliding the switch away from the connectors is the Master/Normal position.
 
You should turn off "Fast Startup" in the Windows Power Options -> Choose what the power buttons do -> Change settings that are currently unavailable if you're gonna power down as opposed to restarting after switching the VBIOS.

Hi Gents.
 
Sorry it took so long to come back, Christmas and all. I followed your suggestions to the letter, but as you can see below, the software is still only seeing one fan!
 
Have you any other ideas guys

1) try the older version of the software
 
2) Make sure you go offline & stop your Antivirus software when trying to install
