Geforce gtx 1080 founders edition with heatsink issues

In case there was not enough controversy with Nvidia's decision to raise the sale price of its GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition by $ 100 against the recommended price for assemblers, now adds the fact that its heatsink presents a problem related to the fan.

GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition has issues with its fan spin speed

The GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition has arrived in Spain with a sales price of approximately 780 euros, despite being such an expensive product, the first problems have already appeared with its turbine-type heat sink, more specifically related to its blower fan. Several users are reporting on the official Nvidia forum that their prized GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition watch their fan spin speed suddenly jump from 2, 000 rpm to 3, 000 rpm for no reason. It is a variation in the speed of the fan that occurs randomly in an increase of up to 1, 000 rpm and then decreases again, something quite annoying when you are in a quiet situation with enough silence.

These changes in the GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition's fan speed are not due to an increase in temperature or clock speed, so it cannot be fixed using third-party tools like MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision to control the fan.
