So I've had this card for about three years or so, never a problem, never OCed it. But now it makes a slight grind noise for a split second when I crank the fan speed to 75% or higher using Precision X, then works as usual without anymore noise. Is there a way to actually take apart the fan and clean it, and re-oil the bearing? My card is the original reference fan. This one = http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-PCI-Express-Graphics-01G-P3-1370-TR/dp/B003ZMTPEW
I'd just like to know how exactly in detail to take apart the fan to clean it (not the shroud or heatsink, they are fine), and if it's possible to reapply some oil to stop the grind noise.
