I have an evga 5900 xt videocard with fan making some horrible grinding nioses. My guess is the bearings are going out. I can ill-afford for my fan to quite working becuase it is already 44c at idle. My question is, what are some good fan/heatsinks out there that are compatable with my videocard?
Thanks
Matt
You no longer need to guess! This free stability scan and registry cleaner download will give you a complete diagnosis of your Windows registry, identifying errors and conflicts.
check that there are no wires touching the fan...that happened to me once on my front exhaust fans....i pushed the wire into the fan when i put my hdd in and it was loud for a little while and it got quiet again because the wire had moved in a little....the side of the wire had gotten stripped off so i wrapped it with electrical tape.

Check out these if you do happen to have to replace it, btw try to keep an eye on the temp and turn off whenever not in use. If the fan isn't working, then it would be wise to make sure you dont burn out your video card.
These wont have a problem of fans going out, not that it happens often, but these will cool better with out a fan, usally works best with a good airflow in the case.
