I have tried serveral programmes and no one work the way i want. I tried to stop fans until it reached 55 degrees but it is impossible, it is lock at 41% and that is 1000 rpm, so its disturbs me. The rest of Zotacs GTX 1070 can stop fans, is there any solution to this? Flash BIOS? Another programme? (I tried Zotac's, Afterburner and Nvidia Inspector) Can i buy something to al least reduce their speed?

Usually MSI Afterburner works.
I'ved used it on my Aorus card and it controls the fan like what you wanted to do.
I set the curve to start spinning if the temp goes 55c. Lower than that it's on FAN Stop mode.
Can you post screenshots of your afterburner settings?

That's how I set it up as well, but don't forget to click on "user auto" for the fans in main afterburner window. I'm using a different skin but there's the option on the main window under the fan sliders.
(Can't get a screen cap for you, outside atm on mobile.) But check the fan slider settings there's a "user auto" setting for the fans IIRC which will let you use the profile you made.

What's the specific model of your zotac card?
Hmm some other cards can't stop fans as they're built that way but let's see yours.
Only thing I could think of is a custom bios, but we need to check 1st.

See that dotted line running from left to right right at about 41% on the fan curve window? That is the minimum fan speed set in the BIOS of your video card. You can not force the cards to go any lower than that. That line is there on any card that has a hard set minimum speed(AKA doesn't have the fan-off feature).
Since you can't modify the BIOSes of Pascal graphics cards, the only option would be to try to flash a different model card's BIOS onto your card. DON'T DO THIS!

Finally got to my pc to check and compare your's vs my fan settings and yeah as what @newtekie1 said... The dotted lines are your bios defaults I was not able to spot that on my mobile so 
..... (So there are some other cards than the 1060 that does not have the fan stop feature).
And ofc we don't want you flashing bioses that will break your card...

I've seen 1080Ti's that didn't have the fan off feature. It is all up to the maker of the card and what they decide to set the BIOS to. Honestly, the fan off feature is really just a gimmick, IMO. I'd rather have the fans spinning at all times to have a little airflow over the card. Most cards with aftermarket coolers can handle the fans spinning at slow enough RPM to be near silent. But I think 41% is pretty high for a minimum fan speed.

I see been away from the gpu scene for quite some time now and the latest upgrade I've done is getting the 1080 (for a fair price, cheaper than a 1070 Ti, well here in the Philippines atleast). And yeah I don't like the idea of the fan stop thing. I think it's more degrading to have the fan go on and off , on and off rather than just keep it spinning!
Thanks for the fast replies So my unique option is to flash BIOS. How likely is that I can break my card doing that? I've seen that my card is the same as the Zotac AMP! Edition (without "Core") but that one has in BIOS fan stop and mine doesn't. According to Techpowerup its BIOS is compatible with mine. I mean if it has the same risk as change the BIOS of a mobo i can try it.
Or can i buy some sort of speed limiting for the fans? Trust me, 1000rpm is not quiet when you need silence and it is disturbing me more than I thought it could do.

Very high possibility due to protections that nvidia made for pascal bioses. As what @newtekie1 mentioned, do not do it.
