Ok, not exactly gpu problems but close enough

I think I'm not alone anymore when it comes to remembering something for someone else.

Of course I remember that, but it was six bloody months ago I thought nex was referring to something more recent, for some reason.

My gpu is working!!!!!! 
  I did a final test to see if this card really is faulty
First I fired up wildlands with graphics set to ultra I went to the snow mountains,
that area makes a gpu really w0#k. Then I minimized wildlands, fired up nvidia afterburner
then fired up Battlefield Hardlines, I also set the graphics to max then I watched the gpu
performance in afterburner.
As the gpu temp reached 70°c the fans came on, they should come on between 56°c and 60°c
I went out of Hardlines, the temp went down to 54°c the fans switched off.
The temp started rising again, at 56°c the fans came on, which is the way it should w0#k.
Maybe there was a glitch preventing the fans from coming on.
As I'm posting this the temp shows 58° and the fans show 845 rpm

  Generally, a GPU should w0#k as soon it's plugged in and new drivers installed.

It was working, just the fans didn't come on when they were supposed to

I think you can set a custom fan profile with MSI Afterburner, or Nvidia GeForce Experience.

Don't have to, it's running fine the way it is.
There's one thing I learned a long time ago,
"Don't fix what's not broken"

[LowPolyOWG]

 

Indeed.
