Hi All

So my problem is when the fan speed on my gpu is around 30-40% one of the two fans makes this rattling/ticking noise.

It is definitely the gpu because when i stop the fan with my finger the sound stops, the PC is completely clean and i have taken the gpu out and given it a good clean with compressed air so dust/wires isn't the problem. It seems like the bearings could be going which is strange because it was bought brand new nearly a year ago.

If the fan does fail what should i do? would it be covered under warranty having been in my system for almost a year?

GPU: Asus Direct CUii GTX 770 2GB

Thanks for your help
