The GTX 1080 fans have ceased functioning.
Hey there! So you're dealing with an older GTX 1080 that's been around for over six years. The fans stopped working after a short while, which is typical for this age. You tried a set of new fans from Amazon, but they didn't last long either. Now you're left with your original fans, which are still partially functional, but the rest won't move. Usually, when the GPU starts up, the fans spin up and then stop due to a temperature-related issue. This time it seems like the fans never activate at all. You mentioned checking the connectors, using DDU, and doing a clean install—nothing seems to be helping. Got any suggestions? Thanks for sharing!
Have you explored MSI Afterburner to check if you can push fans to full speed and observe the results?

It didn't make a difference. I also checked the Asus adjustment, but it produced the same outcome.
Consider testing the fan connector with a multimeter to check for current flow.
a multimeter is very affordable yet effective. likely the issue lies with poor solder joints or failing components inside. checking websites like northwestrepair, northridgefix, or krisfixgermany can provide helpful tutorials on repairing gpus and fan problems.
