Hi everyone. I have a peculiar problem with my 3080.
The model is Strix OC. The left/right fan used to spin at full speed anytime I launched a game, whilst the mid one was behaving normally.
On GPU-Z this is what I could see:

Fan 2 (mid fan= spin at 53% and shows between 998 and 1000rpm
Now, trust me when I say that the left and right fans spin way beyond 53%. Yesterday I purchased a new SSD, did a clean install and boom: everything works fine again! Fan 1 and 2 were both showing the correct rpm and the behaviour you see on the image (0rpm on fan1) happened only after a while, I guess when either of these criteria were met:

I have tried MSI AB in the past, but it just doesn't work for me. Today I have installed GPU Tweak II but it does nothing when the card has this sort of behaviour. I don't have Nvidia Broadcast installed for reference and the power management is set to normal.
I am getting desperate because the GPU is supposed to be fine but there's something that is making it behave in the wrong way. I can hear these fans from a different room... that's how loud they are. Any help? Thanks!
