Hi guys,
after installing iCUE software on my new build, I've noticed the 3080FE fans have now stopped spinning. The temp is now 50degress and climbing slowly. If I go to custom the curve shows the fans s/b on but they just wont start. Any ideas?

Cards now have a set temp before the fan will start, not sure what it is tbh but probably 50-60c. Might be worth giving it a check under load to see if it starts or not.

Did a restart and as soon as windows rebooted fancame on. As soon as icue started fan turned off again. Shut down PC for now and will take a look tomorrow. Might uninstall and reinstall icue to see if makes a difference. My fans were all rainbow out of box, but now on bootup they turn white and back to rainbow after icue turns on.maybe I screwed something up, but everything was fine until I installed that software

I don't use icue and it does the same fans stop spinning
3080 will be in icue where you can set the RGB how you want , also why not play something see if the fans kick in ? Did you let it get to 60c , all seems normal to me

As stated fans will be on during boot up at 30% speed. They then turn off shortly after windows has loaded and temperature is low. Fans won’t restart until they hit a certain temperature. They will start at 30% speed and climb as the temps increase.

No, I was going to bed. I was in process of downloading flight sim, so will turn back on and continue then have a go. If the fans kick in I guess it's ok then, as you 're all saying it's normal. There was a custom fan setting where it showed fan at 30% which then starts to rise after 60 degrees, but when I clicked on it nothing happenned..I'm new to icue so maybe I'm doing something wrong

Thanks everyone. Card doing as you say, spins up every so often, so temp 37 degrees at the mo, but just come back in. Still a long way from downloading flight sim..no idea why I chose that to download, it's huge. Think I was just having a moment, overly protective of my gpu:cry:
