Re: 3080 ftw3 click or tick noise / fan 3 slow to respond in x1

It seems that Afterburner slowly really up the fans while Precision X1 makes fan #3 jump immediately to 30 percent so that the clicking isn't noticeable.
Apparently fan #3 isn't intended to spin between 1-29 percent but to remain at 0 or jump to 30. That is what's causing the clicking on FTW3 cards (at least on my 3070 Ti FTW3).
It appears as this is a non-issue in Precision X1 or an "unintended" issue with Afterburner. Not ideal that this issue even exists but with stock behaviour it is not happening 😅
