Getting my GPU fans under control

I'm curious if it could also be possibly be borked fan control on the GPU itself. Not sure if Gigabyte offers it, but is there newer firmware to flash for the GPU?
 
Yoink, almost two years later I started PC gaming again (Windrose) and this issue has reared its head again.


Regardless of where I check (GPU-Z, Gigabyte Control Center, Afterburner), the fans report as 0rpm, whilst the thing sounds like it's trying to suck me in to another dimension.

I've DDU'd the PC and reinstalled a few different drivers, I've flashed the latest bios on to the GPU, I've pulled it out of the PC and reset all the plugs, nothing. No matter what I do, it will only show 0rpm.

Time for a replacement then. Genuinely annoyed as the GPU works flawlessly, and I don't need to upgrade, but the noise is too much. Closure at least.

Remove fan shroud, and cable tie a cheap aio onto the core, bit of luck and you might still be able to use the heatsink /cable tie a fan underneath the gpu to cool the vram and vrms.

Or disconnect og fan cable from gpu remove fans + shroud(plastic fan casing), and replace with 2 120mm fans, can use fan control to enable a fan curve.

Cheers. I've just ordered a 5060ti, can't be bothered with it anymore.
