Hi, I'm new here so sorry for eventual mistakes. After months I wanted to fix the issue with my GPU. I bought a EVGA 2060 sc used in summer 2024. The seller was a man that modified the bios and the cooling making the gpu custom looped. When he sold the card to me he said that the fan was locked to mximum speed. I installed the card and it was impossible to fix the issue, also the card was not recognised by the system so i couldn't use nvidia app to update the drivers. I contacted the evga support and they sent me a rom file that fix the nvidia app problem ( the card is ricognised by the system and I can update the driver via nvidia app) but not the fan issue. Do you have any idea?

Is the pwm wire going to the fans ok? The fans should be connected by a 4 pin connector. Check if all the wires are there and not broken.
