Something is touching my GPU and it makes wierd noise while fans are on load.....

brofromcro · Jan 24, 2016

So my Gigabyte R9 390 worked fine until yesterday when i heard this awful noise that sounded like tractor...anyway I realized the problem is that one of my fans is being touched by something so its kinda stoping it... Noise is there when on normal load.... and when I lay down my PC case noise isnt that much present so yeah probbably gravity fault....I dont know what should I do. Everything works fine and I am pretty sure nothing in computer is touching it so maybe the fan is kinda unscrewed or something. Please help me !!

RMA it

I think your Fan has hit something in the casing, and now is unbalanced...

only happens when the fan speeds up? sound anything like this?

I admit its been a while since I heard a tractor. If i had to guess I would say the fan is out of balance or is coming apart (coming off the spindle)

Or, the fan keeps touching something when you close the casing. Keep the casing open, and check around the card for any possible loose wires or connectors dangling...

Check if there is a zip tie or something like that in there somewhere touching.

Check the inside of the fan..probably hiting Fan power cables...

Sounds like an RMA

R_1 · Jan 25, 2016

cooling unit replacement if RMA is not an option

Take the GPU to place where you bought it and tell them to fix it... simple
