Hey all. Was wondering if anyone got any advice. Just switched PC on. The RGB on top of the Zotac RTX 3080 card is static red. But rest of my rgb on card is rainbow effects. It wasn't red last light it was all matching. I tried to change it in software but still solid red. Does that mean RGB is failing.

Unlikely, probably just a issue with RGB software which can be pita sometimes to coordinate. What application are you using to set the Zotac RGB? Firestorm?

Try setting the RGB to a static colour like blue or green, under standard effects. Restart PC, then launch firestorm again and select what animated effect you want.

Hi. I have done what you said.. Only the front part is lighting up. top part. nothing.

So to confirm, when you set a static colour, nothing was displaying on the top of card, only on side? And same result after restart, rainbow or whatever you selected would only display on the side and not the top of the card?

That is correct. Only static colour on side. nothing on top. Changed to rainbow. Top in blank and side flashing rainbow colour. Then went blank. Then gone back to rainbow colour

The only things I can think of is to uninstall Firestorm, restart, installed the latest version (download from Zotac.com) and try setting RGB again. If RGB is not responding, then I would suspect a hardware fault.

Done that. I been on Phone to PCS. They going to have a talk to someone else about the issue and get back to me

I noticed my fans are spinning all the time now. They never used to.. Temps sitting at 32c. I Thought fans suppose to spin when card gets hot.

Yeah, wouldn't expect GPU fans to spin at that temperature
I just checked the performance monitoring on the Nvidia Geforce experiance. The GPU temp is 37c But fan speed keeps ramping upto 800+RPM. Is that normal.
I Have opened door for the case and its all cool inside?

Which Zotac model is it? There may be a VBIOS update.
