I've had this just over a month from new and has worked fine up until now but for some reason the fans keep ramping from zero to 100% even on idle with no load. I have applied a custom fan curve on msi afterburner but doesn't make any difference.

The ebay seller has accepted a return but I'm wondering if there's anything I'm missing before sending it back?

Video below so you can see what I mean...

I've tried installing drivers and resetting bios to factory default but still no joy. Notice how the fans keep twitching.. Is this a hardware fault?

You could try installing MSI afterburner. This will allow you to set a custom fan curve.

Tried that, it just gets ignored when applied and makes no difference. I've uninstalled the driver and the rpm was constant low ish and re-installed driver and back to the usual ramping up and down. I'll send it back.
