Title: GPU fan wobbling and hitting fan case Post by: sub-80 on March 10, 2018, 04:23:32 PM Hi;
I have 2 Gpus with one fan that is wobbling and hitting the gpu fan case. The temp levels are in the 60s-70s which are ok. but should I replace them and if there is a fix method please share. Thanks Title: Re: GPU fan wobbling and hitting fan case Post by: zorachus99 on March 10, 2018, 04:34:58 PM Take it out back, and air it out with a shotgun. ;D

I have 2 gigabyte GPUs that hit the fan case upon OS startup. However, when i start mining and the fans speed up, the hitting sound is gone. Been mining with them for 4 months now without problem.

I recommend that you Unscrew the cooling radiator and replace the thermal paste with this procedure. But removing the remnants of the old paste can create problems for you. So you'd better give your GPU in for repair to a specialist.

Mine does the same thing in low RPMs but it's fine in higher. You can remove it, clean it and try to apply some sort of lubrication (Silicone oil) to the bearings to see if that helps at all. If not, just buy a new one from eBay, it won't cost more than $10 ea.I have 2 Gpus with one fan that is wobbling and hitting the gpu fan case.

Thanks At high speed some times it hits the frame and sometimes for days it will run with out a scratch Title: Re: GPU fan wobbling and hitting fan case Post by: baga105 on March 10, 2018, 05:27:55 PM It is going to die soon. Had similar experience. I didn't buy a new one, but I put a fan for compute case instead, and the temperatures were even better :P

I have Palit cards and one of my fans have dodgy bearing, I think its on its way out. Contacted Palit, they responded " We do not sell fans or any parts".
Not sure what I`ll do when that bearing goes completely. Title: Re: GPU fan wobbling and hitting fan case Post by: Elder III on March 10, 2018, 08:48:32 PM If you take the fan off and look at the back of it there should be a part number that you can use to (hopefully) find a replacement fan on ebay, amazon, alibaba, etc... I know that you can buy Gigabyte replacement fans online for their current series of coolers if you know the part number to look up.
