Hi all, I've got the same issue. One of the cooling fans of my ASUS DUAL RX 580 went down. I ordered a replacement, it was offered as "more powerful", so I went for it. It was 0.55A compared with 0.25A of the standard one. When I replaced the fan (I've tried replacing just one fan or both) the card was working at first but as soon as I start mining it crashes after a few seconds.

Is there any way to adjust settings - either OC or BIOS - to fix this? Or 0.55A fans just won't work here?

I don't understand why that happened. So far I have used VPM(Delta) and ordinary fans made by local brands in my country to replace one R9 and 1060 fans, already 9 months have never crashed as you have experienced.

Or:
- have you tried checking the cable power from/to the fan connector?
- make sure the fan socket on the GPU is in good condition (meaning there is "nothing strange")

You will need to buy the fan with 0,25A rating. I did locate exactly the same model on Aliexpress here:

Why did the fans on the Asus RX580 Dual fail? I have my theories:

1) Graphics card might have run too hot with too high fan speed over prolonged time. Or in a dirty environment.
2) Physical damage - fan blade being pressed on, thus damaging the bearings. The construction is so that the fan is located above the fan shroud, thus unprotected from physical trauma.

I bought mine RX 580's used without warranty. So I am forced to fix the problem myself. The fans I bought works fine. I will order more. 3 of the 4 RX 580's I bought are have the same problems. On some both fans were faulty, on some only one.

The fans on the Sapphire Pulse and Nitro are superior to the Asus Dual, and they are easy to change too. Also build quality on the Sapphire cards are superior.

You can connect these units from the main power supply, and use a resistor to adjust the speed.
I also have problems with fans on ASUS video cards. I turn off the main cooling system and attach the usual 80x80 or 90x90 fans to the top.
The only drawback is the noise.
