Hello,
I recently installed the RTX 3080 FTW3 HYBRID cooler for my 3080 FTW3.  Since installing, I noticed the fans on the radiator will rev up on their own will.  When I ran X1 before, I still showed 3 fans, and was told I needed to update my BIOS using the pinned post.  I select the BIOS for EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 HYBRID.  All went fine with the BIOS except now my X1 says I have GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID.  I don't think I have an ULTRA...Not really a big deal, but my fans still rev up on their own.  It is specifically FAN1 which are the radiator fans.  HWMonitor reports them incorrectly revving up to 6000000 RPM.  X1 show them bouncing between 1900 and 3000 RPM.  
If I close X1 and run MSI Afterburner, I can control the fans there instead.  Anyone have these issues with FTW3 or know how to fix?  The fans rev up when running applications, even if I set a static fan speed or a custom fan curve, it simply isn't following these curves.
 
The screenshots show the naming in X1, and also the fan RPM for Fan1 where it shows it is running at 80% but at 2 different RPM levels.  I currently play WoW Classic.. where I am hearing the fans rev up immediately upon launching the game.

Bumping own thread as this is still an issue. Have heard of some workarounds such as plugging fans directly into motherboard instead of to the GPU.  My current workaround is undervolting to 1800 mhz..  which does result in an FPS drop. 
By default, my card operates at 2100 mhz.. so dropping by 300mhz.

Sorry to hear this. I optioned to run my fans from my motherboard and I use Argus monitor to make a profile. Is that a potential relief?

It is a workaround. Would need to order more hardware in order to plug in the 2 fans, or remove 2 fans I have on the other side of the radiator. (Decided to do a push/pull since the GPU controlled the rad fans…)
Just a bit odd that I would need to bypass the fan power from the Hybrid. Something isn’t right and I’m wondering if this can be corrected with software or firmware or if it’s a hardware issue with the hybrid? When I run HWMonitor to look at the fan #1 RPM it shows it at 60,000,000 when it revs up. (Obviously not 60M rpm, but the fact that it can’t register the true rpm makes me think when power consumption spikes on the card, it is sending it through the fan cable as well.)

Just hoping for some traction from EVGA on this.

Do you have the latest bios?

Makes me wonder if one of the pins of the 4 pin connectors has a bad connection so its getting bad feedback, I replaced the fans on a Kingpin cooler and had a problem with one of the pins not seating like it should inside the connetor and I had really wierd fan responce, Might be worth a look.
