Recently my Gigabyte R9 280x windforce which I've had for just over a year now had ones of it's 3 fans break. It will still spin but much slower and clunkier and It also makes a loud annoying crackling sound when it spins, and gets especially loud when gaming. So I was wondering if there was any way to fix the fan and if not I was I was wondering if the 3rd fan is necessary for the card not to overheat. Because if not I could always just stop it entirely so it doesn't make the noise anymore.
