Gigabyte Gaming OC 2080ti Problem -do I RMA?

Just as I began to get used to the noisy fans I now have continuous rattling from the thing. Anyone else have same problem?

I have just looked at fans and they are spin, stop, spin, stop - that can't be right can it?

If it's rattling, you'll have to return it as I had to.. Another Gigabyte ^ :(

I had to perform a BIOS update on my Gigabyte 2080 gaming overclock to stop that happening although I still use a custom fan curve. You'll probably find if you set a fan curve in Afterburner with minimum fan speed above about 33%, the fans will run continuous at idle with less noise. Anything less than 33% fan speed can result in that stop/start issue.
 
I'm finding that as soon as I install and run Afterburner the card goes mental at 100% it seems the card ignores any curve I set and does it's own thing. Very strange I know.

If I could be granted any wish concerning the whole thing would be for Overclockers to offer an EVGA or similar replacement for the thing. Gigabytes' repair has seemed to make it even worse but the thought of going without my pc for another possible month especially in the 'self isolation' period were in does not appeal.

Help..aaagghhh.

I have the twp of the three fans spinning like crazy with the third fan sat idle again. This was the original problem.
 
Are you running Afterburner with Admin privileges ? With my Win 10 user account, I also had to create a custom task run as Admin otherwise it does not auto start with the task it auto creates.
 
Have just spoken to a really helpful member of the OcUK staff and am now RMA'ing and replacing the card.

For a card to be at 29 degrees with 2 of the three fans going mental with the third idle something is clearly wrong.
 
Update:

Received a lovely replacement 2080ti from Overclockers today. After 6 weeks without a gaming pc I now have one and it's not making a racket nor stopping etc. You don't realise what you have until it's gone.

Can I please thank Jargan and the OcUK team for sorting the matter especially in these difficult circumstances.
