Hello everyone,
I have a GTX 770, Asus edition as part of my system's configuration installed and for some reason starting it up today it decided to make an extremely loud noise while running a game.
Two weeks ago it began making a grind heavy noise and so I oiled it for the first time. Both fans, all three bearings each. The card is almost two years old mind you. Anyway, it actually made the card tolerable and very quiet until this evening.
So today, despite the mentioned oiling it was making a very nasty sound and so I decided to give it another oiling. I did and when I fired up the computer again it was as loud as a gpu fan could possibly be, beyond the worst sounds I have ever heard any electronic make. I can't live with that noise, even with earplugs, even if I wait to order a replacement, it's just too nasty of a racket.
So I have jammed the left fan with a toothpick. The right fan still works and seems to keep a triple A 2013 game (the most advanced I'd ever run at this point) cooled at around 83 degrees even though I have it set to a max of 82 (was 79, but I bumped it up a tiny bit due to there only being one fan). It seems to spike to 84 then down to 83 degrees and the fan speed is of course naturally a little higher than I'm used to seeing hovering around 90 percent power. I have only tested it for a few minutes though... I'll play for a half hour or so and check if anyone has replied.
What temperature for the GPU should I start worrying about it being too hot?
What fan speed % should I start worrying that it's working too hard?
What could I do other then jam a toothpick into it in the meantime? (carefully and gently of course, just figuratively speaking)
What part would I need to order online to replace this really loud gpu fan? (I've never done maintenance to a GPU before aside from oiling the fans these two times in my entire life)
Could I get a newegg link to said part please? Just so I know what I'm looking for...
I really don't have $500 for a new GPU right now I'm going through family crisis. Thank you in advance for reading everyone, any help would be appreciated.
