Still having fan issues with new EVGA 570?


i posted thread last week concerning new evga 570 bought. fan on card not spin. jittered bit. sent , received new replacement card. fan on card seemed work. turned mac on , fan started spinning i'd expect.

morning started using mac , after while started acting weird. so, shut down , popped side off, restarted , watched fan , didn't spin. did couple of revolutions , stopped. repeated until shut down. after few shut downs , restarts fans started spinning again. i've tried 2 different power cables thinking maybe there short or bad connector in 1 of wires. same results both cables. moved card slot 2 see if makes difference. after installing card in slot 2 fan started spinning on first start up. plan leave there now, i'd surprised if going fix it.

anyway, have clue why happening? doubt received 2 bad cards. since 1 seemed fine week ago. have enough power run card? have 2008 mac pro. read should have plenty of power, maybe not. matter how many additional peripherals plugged in?
 

are these kind fan in center?

once noticed had left clear protective plastic on 1 , had sucked plastic in , wrapped around fan shaft

have noticed fan sit idle @ startup until gets warm enough start spinning

worry if card gets hot in use screen locks or cuts out black card reaching thermal shut off

feel ho touch point, @ metal frame house fan.
