NVIDIA GTX 1070 fan not working

I started noticing severe slowdown after a short period of gaming and looking at MSI Afterburner I figured out that my graphics card was running too hot (95-100 C).

I opened up the case, cleaned up a small amount of dust and ran a benchmark test (Heaven benchmark). This completed okay, but the fan on the graphics card never switched on even though the temp reached 95 C. It seemed to start to turn a few times but never started spinning properly or consistently.

The card is around 3 and a half years old and has worked absolutely fine up to this point. There don't appear to be any other problems with the computer.

I'm trying to figure out if there's any other potential cause, or if the card is dead. Thanks in advance.
