Within the past week or so, my GPU fan has been getting louder and louder day by day. I have tried using a can of compressed air but nothing good from it.

Card I have is an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT

My temperatures have been the same within the past week.

My temperatures at idle is 55 with the ac on and around 62 with the heat on in my house, it's always been that high for me.

It's the same noise at any temperature its at.

If it's been a while since you cleaned it, I'd take it out and check for anything that's not supposed to be there. I guess for an old card it's an okay idle temp but you could use some cheap thermal paste on it, too, to prevent overheating issues.

I'm really not quite sure how to address this problem unless the fan itself is broken or something.
