my mining rig - 1x 5870, 1x 5850 and 2 USB Block exploders got hard powered off this morning when the toaster tripped the house power :S
after bring it back online the fan on teh 5850 now sounds like a leaf blower - its an ASUS HD 5850 - its it worth replacing the fan?

if the card is fine a fan is cheap, i'd be suspect of the card without a through test though I know I lost one during a power outage the entire board was discolored slightly, it would still boot but got hot and loud quick.

I have a couple reference cards that are LOUD at 100%. maybe try restarting your miner manually setting the gpu-fan to something manually, if you haven't tried that already? example: --gpu-fan 75

yeah its reference the card still runs fine so is it it worth replacing then? From my experience, once they start making a lot of noise, it's only a matter of time before the fan seizes. Any chance you're running the fan at 100% now and you weren't previously?

Currently I have one 5830 being cooled with a zip tied on 92mm delta (nice noise from that) and my other cards are watercooled.

fan runs at 80% i believe - Afterburner has a custon fan control on it to keep all the cards below 70 although i am switchign to an open air rig in the next week or so, so hopefully i wont need the custom control and i'll revert to 'automatic' i have a couple of 120mm deltas that i plan on using in the 'summer' (in the UK - so summer is a loose description for a couple of warmer than normal weeks )

I'd look into obtaining a replacement fan, or an aftermarket cooler (locally I've seen seen Arctic coolers for 5850's going for about $20). I'm not sure how well a 120mm delta will cool an reference-style card unless you take off the shroud and strap a couple onto the heatsink, that actually may work pretty well
