Very true. Fingers crossed some come up for sale at a decent price  :)

They are failing one after the other. First by producing a rattling noise for a few days and then dying completely.

...

Same thing here with the Gigabyte RX 570... i still have some RX470 XFX and Asus 1 year  older mining on the same room... without any problems...

Damn Gigabyte Fans... :/

And didnt found any cheap source, aliexpress, ebay, anywhere... they are all expensive...

I read a lot before I invested in any hardware and all had the same opinion regarding Gigabyte GPUs, The fan being the worst part.

I just take off the fans and glue a fan powered by a molex connection.  The fans cost about $5 at the most, I've had gpus running like this for 2 years.

You can fix this issue by searching up new fans from like eBay or some other place. A similar (but way worse) option is to buy a whole new cooling unit to your card (many times more expensive and pointless).
Some options:
