The fins are either brushing up against something or there is dirt in the bearing that is causing the noise. --- There's a calm before the storm and the western front is quiet. I've got Rembrandt as my right hand and Solo as my pilot. <cite>yillin posted [p:913862702] in My GPU is ...

Yes I am sure it is a fan of my GPU. I unplugged all the other fans the other day (except for my heatsink) and the noise was still there. It also only happens while playing games, and when my GPU fans are actually spinning (according to Open Hardware Monitor). --- //constant loneliness// --- Steam and Fortnite: billcom6 My Teams: The Ohio State Buckeyes, New York Yankees, Buffalo Bills, The CBJ, Cavs <cite>billcom6 posted [p:913863032] in My GPU is ...

SpiralDrift 12/10/18 1:03:40 AM #6:	It's just dirty. Take it apart and clean it. Good luck pulling the fan off of the motor without breaking it, though. Some fans are easier than others to take apart. I wouldn't recommend this to beginners but the method I use is to just take the fan blade and the motor (separated) and run them under hot tap water. You'll usually see a bunch of filthy water for a few seconds. The next part is the most important part, you have to rinse it off with distilled water and then soak it for a bit in some more distilled water. Dry it in front of a fan for at least a few hours, then put a tiny bit of oil (WD40 is usually fine) on the parts that make contact between the two pieces (not directly on the magnetic part). I've fixed dozens of fans in numerous devices doing this. If it still makes noise then the plastic has probably worn down in a bad spot and there's nothing you can do but replace it. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. <cite>SpiralDrift posted [p:913863072] in My GPU is ...

Will probably do that in the coming days. --- //constant loneliness// --- Steam and Fortnite: billcom6 My Teams: The Ohio State Buckeyes, New York Yankees, Buffalo Bills, The CBJ, Cavs <cite>billcom6 posted [p:913863095] in My GPU is ...

Just put your finger on the center of them to stop them and figure out which one it is. Now figure out which gpu fan it is. You most likely have 2 or 3 fans.

billcom6 12/10/18 10:20:06 PM #9:	Don't worry guys I figured it out. One of the fans kept hitting against a cable going to my HDD. I somehow didn't see that the last time I looked in there, but spotted it this time. Moved the cable, and we're good to go! --- //constant loneliness// --- Steam and Fortnite: billcom6 My Teams: The Ohio State Buckeyes, New York Yankees, Buffalo Bills, The CBJ, Cavs <cite>billcom6 posted [p:913916745] in My GPU is ...
