i had this same issue, it's a really simple fix. all you need to do is go into px1 and set the fan 3 speed to 0% until you want it to spin up and then don't set it any lower than 40% when you want it spinning. for some reason the way that the fan is instructed to stay on will make it click around 30% rpm
I have the same card and same problem. What you suggested as a solution worked, but wouldn't it be a problem for the card when the 3rd fan stopped and the other 2 fans were idle? All fans spin when powered up. What I'm wondering is that the 3rd fan doesn't spin when idle.
This is totally harmless, if annoying. The default fan curve tries to maintain a certain temperature at idle, so once it settles around that target temperature one or more fans will turn off and on repeatedly. Ideally it would just spin at a low speed instead, but it could be that the PWM signal at that low a speed is too weak to keep the fan spinning at all. So on-off-on-off was EVGA's answer instead. Setting a custom fan curve with Precision X1 or flipping the OC bios switch (if it has one) would eliminate the clicking.
No, sorry. Also EVGA is not in a business anymore and not sure if they will have spare fans. I sold it a year ago but if I remember, I set the custom curve with zero mode but fans needed to start rapidly to the higher RPM first and issue was gone.

Sounds like a windshield wiper and a turn signal.

It's the fan rpm. Same on my 3080ti pallit card. Set rpm to 0 until it hits 40c then set curve to 40% there
Did you find a fix except custom fan curve? I am thinking ask a replace fan to evga but i am not sure will it be fixed with new fan.

i have the same issue on 20% fans power. When i set to 30% i dont hear clicking. I think i will refund card
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same noise coming from my ftw3 3080
It looks like your pc has lice......
I think the issue isn't that the fans not working its that there is a ton of dust all over the gpu like holly mothballs.
same card, same problem me.
same card same problem
Тоже самое и у меня
