    I've just installed my Gigabyte GTX 970 but only the first 2 fans are spinning. The fan at the end of the card isn't. Any idea what this could be?

    Already tried that. This card actually has 3 fans. I believe they should all spin even at idle.

    Well that's not right.

    Should return it to the place you bought it from ASAP and declare it as faulty.

    This Gigabyte card doesn't have the 'idle' fan feature.

    Edit: Just fixed it. It looks like the card wasn't seated properly.

    So the metal shroud was obstructing the fan?
