One of 3 fans not spinning - problem or normal and would spin under load?
« on: November 23, 2011, 09:00:25 pm »
Is this normal to have one fan not spinning when idle?

I just got a new GV-N570OC-13I Rev2.0 - I'm building a new PC which I can't boot up yet - waiting for RAM. But when I power on, all case and CPU fans spin, but only 2 out of 3 GPU fans spin - the one closes to ports is not spinning. I have both 6-pin power connectors connected, powering by XFX 850W PSU. Is this a sign of a problem? Or would this fan spin under load and it's part of card design to shut down one fan when not needed?

Thanks.

I wish I could give you a definitive answer, and I'm sure someone here could. I would think that all of the fans should be spinning.

I have a Radeon 687OC with three fans and they all spin all the time.  They all should be spinning.
