So my Fan was rattling bad so I decided to fix it which isn't an issue because I've done it a couple dozen times. I unplugged the fan super gently and plugged in the new one. When I went to boot up it didn't spin at all, not even on boot. X1 showed that there was only 2 fans. So i thought it was a dead fan and I would return it and order a new one. I unplugged the new fan and plugged in the old one and booted up. This time I noticed only 1 fan was spinning on boot and X1 only recognized 1 fan now... great.
I'm not sure what I did wrong. I grounded myself before changing the fan and double checked that everything was fully seated.
In HWinfo it shows fan 1 is at 50% and fan 2 is at 0% and then down lower on the list is shows Fan 3 is at 100% at 3000rpm
Any help at all is greatly appreciated. I baffled right now and I really don't want to buy a brand new GPU right now and can't RMA because it's out of warranty...


Not sure why the pictures aren't showing and it won't let me post the imgur link. Also wont let me upload pictures when I do "from gallery/upload" there is nothing there so I can't add photos.
if you go to imgur . com/a/7vXUqzS you can see photos
