My nearly 2 year old RTX 3060's fan is not spinning, just one of them is, the other one is standing still. I do not want this to cause any type of overheating, but i was unable to find solutions in the internet to this very specific type of scenario. The PCIe cables are connected just fine. Yes i am aware that the fans only start spinning under load, but even when i tried to force it to spin, it did not. Not even when starting the PC. There is nothing blocking the fan, nor have i ever modified or handled the GPU in a way you were not intended too.

i may have not noticed it, it can be that this happened a long time ago, but i have noticed it getting a bit load recently. The GPU is nearly completely clean in terms of dust

oh no thats not the one thats in the pc

mortal ingot

deft void
i'll use rubbing alcohol and clean it
mortal ingot
used to get used hardware when i was a beginner. since its second hand u can fuck around with it to learn n inspect
eventually learned its best to get from MicroCenter n let them worry about technicalities
