my card is 2080ftw3.sometimes I open precisionx1 it only shows 2 of 3 fans,then i close and open x1 it probably shows me 3 fans.
i found there is some liquid look like oil on the back of the card.I’m sure the liquid not from my cooler
The oil is likely seepage from the thermal pads. Unfortunately a common thing on EVGA GPUs. They really should be more proactive in what supplier they use.
DO NOT USE FINGERNAIL POLISH or ACETONE on your GPU. 90% or higher IPA or alcohol is fine. Could you elaborate on the fan issue? Are all the fans working properly and just when opening Precision they don't all show or are you having actual fan issues.
