Hey, I have a rx 6700 xt and I am suffering from overheating problems (I did its maintenance by changing the thermal paste and thermal pads) but still presents overheating problems and one of the things which I noticed is that only the left fan rotates (HELP!!!!!)

What kind of overheating problems? What are your temperatures? And which model are you using, for how long? Details are important.

If only one fan rotates then you might have a dead fan on your hands, there's your reason for high temps. Depending on your cards manufacturer it might be very easy or quite hard to replace it.

Without any PC information nor detailed overheating problem that only thing that I can say from your post is if only one GPU fan is working out of 2 or 3 (depending on your GPU model) that would cause your GPU to overheat since it needs both fans running at full speed to keep the GPU from overheating.

Also when your replaced the Thermal Paste and Pads you could have incorrectly applied them or your may have damaged the wiring to the GPU fans or one of the fans itself during your maintenance.

Most likely you probably voided your GPU Warranty by replacing the Pads or taking apart the GPU card.  That will depend on your GPU Manufacturer's Warranty.
