Precision works fine. Afterburner with a custom fan curve, zero rpm until 50c, runs the fans at 51% all the time. It listens to the custom curve when above 51% fan speed but won't run the fans any lower than that even at idle. All 3 fans work. Any one else seeing this?

    Afterburner  didn't work with most of the EVGA 20xx series cards w/ 3 fans either . 
     
     
    * I found the old article about it.....  https://forums.evga.com/Unwinder-adds-multiple-independent-fan-support-to-Afterburner-m2857522.aspx
      and yes , it's because EVGA uses a special fan controller for Async that afterburner still doesn't work .

    I think it has to do with EVGA using different ram controllers than afterburner is programmed for.

    Even Fan-Sync on Afterburner doesn't work though. Got the 3090FTW3 and it either only controls FAN1 & 2 or FAN3 & 4 (The FAN header).
     
    It would be great if it would be at least able to control all 3 + 1 FANs simultaniously, I don't care too much about Async-Fan. It really sucks as Afterburner + RTSS is >>> PX1.
     
     
    ATM I'm running both Afterburner for everything and PX1 only for my fan curve. This seems to work at least. ONLY when I use the Curve mode in Afterburner, it somehow overrides PX1 fan curves constantly, which sucks, because that means, some of the fans run in idle mode.
