GTX 1060 fan not spinning

[Overson]

I just recently built my PC and the fan on my video card is not spinning. Anyone know how to fix this?

Specs:

AMD FX 8350 4.0 GHz 8-Core
GTX 1060 3GB
8GB RAM
1TB HDD

Is it over 60 Celsius?

The temperature?

the fans will only spin if the gpu is above 60c below that the fans will either spin very slowly or stop altogether

you can use third party programs like HWMonitor or if you have 1 monitor get msi afterburner and set it to display gpu temp while in game

Holy hell if that isnt the biggest copy cat ive ever seen..

Whys it look so much like HWMonitor from CPUID?

But yeah, newer NVIDIA GPUs fans will only spin when they NEED to
its a 0RPM feature so things are more silent and efficient.

So I don't need to worry about the heat of my GPU? If it gets to hot then the fans will spin?

naw, you dont need to worry.
and yes, when the GPU gets warm enough thats when the fans will spin accordingly.

You can setup your own fan curve in MSI afterburner like I did... I prefer to have my fan running when the temps are above 30c. I don't even let my GPU get to 60 c. The max it gets to is ~45c

no reason to do that bagel minus making your gpus spin faster

If my fans were at like 70% to do that, I wouldn't... but my fans on need to be at ~30% and it will stay around 45-50

Perfectly normal. They dont spin unless there being used dont fret. Some games use cpu and not much gpu so the fans wont always be on. Iv got a 1060 6gb and my fans are most of the time not spinning when in idle but once i start gaming they spin. Dont fret there ment to do that. Makes it last longer, makes it more quiet.

How ever if a system fan or cpu fan is not spinning then there is a issue.

I haven't opened up my PC since I built it. But it is working. I installed MSI Afterburner and made the fans go on at 40% when it hits 30c
