Many of the reviewers did experience this and reported it as such, with a quick Pres X or Afterburner tweak it was resolved not a major problem and can be easily fixed as the article says with the next driver update, I'd rather have an over active fan than one that just stops

I see.

Do agree that it would be better for it to be overactive... Brings back memories.

My friend bought a gtx 1080 on Friday and I had a short time to play with it. I'm going to fit a block to the card and add it to his loop. I did notice the random fan spin up and slow down. I have seen the same behaviour in the past when I have used aida64 so I uninstalled the programme and tried a fresh driver install just to be certain it wasn't software. I set a fairly aggressive fan curve and didn't see the issue occur again. The card seemed like a fairly good overclocker in the limited time I had with it. I'm looking forward to seeing if I can push it further under water. I will have some more time with it tomorrow.
