Lol. 92c might have something to do with it.

might be time for a repad/repaste

Okay, start from scratch, you don’t have any RTX 980 or 1080ti, so start with which cards you have. RTX didn’t start until the 20 series, so we have to start at the basics.

Are you using GTX 980 sc, ftw, or classified?

Which 1080ti do you have?

You can go to techpowerup and look at the bios’ that they have, and you may be able to find one with a higher fan speed.

Yes, the manufacturers can make the fans run at a lower maximum speed for longevity purposes, but if you are cooking the cards at 92 degrees even with the fans at 100%, then the card may be going into a safety mode and overvolting the fans in an attempt to save itself.

Many people have done work like this on their GPU’s over the years, and it isn’t a common problem, so you either need better airflow overall, or you need to repaste the GPU and see if you can really pull the temps down.

You all are missing the point. How is running 100% of fan speed but yet the fans can go faster but you can't make them go faster unless the GPU get to a toasty 92.
I'm running Prime work. That would make any card hot. Including overclocking.

"100%" is fake 100%. It is what EVGA decided to call 100% for noise reasons and such. At some point, the extra speed and noise provides diminishing returns, so it is pointless to normally allow that high of speed.
But, when the hardware goes into protection mode, the fans go to true 100%.
What you are experiencing is normal. The only thing that isn't normal is how ineffective your cooling is. You shouldn't be able to make it go into overheating protection mode regardless of whatever application you use.
Time for a repaste on the core.

...., then the card may be going into a safety mode and overvolting the fans in an attempt to save itself.

To be clear, the fans are not over-volted.
They are PWM fans. They receive full voltage all the time and never more than full voltage. Never less either. The thing that controls their speed is a separate PWM signal. The difference between 100% and "fake 100%" is the duty cycle of that PWM signal, not how much voltage the fan is receiving.

I'm sorry I meant GTX. 980 GTX and 1080 GTX FTW3. Both EVGA. Don't know if NVIDA or EVGA cap the RPMs but I want to whoever caped the fan speed to uncap it.
 
I paid top dollar for it. But still capping it and think we wouldn't notice it. Well, I noticed it. I think I should talk to NVIDA on this so called 100%.
 
There was a video card out there that was capped at 80% and there was an outcry on why NVIDIA did that. So, NVIDIA sent out a video card BIOS update to release the cap. That was on the "GeForce GTX 480 SuperClocked+" or "GeForce GTX 580" and boy those got hot and they caped them at 80%. OMG WHY. They got so HOT easly.
Now it seems like there still doing that but saying it's at a 100% this time which I can tell is not true because it tops out at 6690 which is 2490 RPMs faster but only when hits 92c.

ditch Precision X1 and get a better app to set the fan speed, Precision has always been buggy IMO. MSI afterburner or riva tuner is a much better app

It still won't go higher than fake 100%. Fake 100% is a firmware limit.

sounds to me that GPU's are going bad eventually or fans are last legs.
