Hey there.
I bought a brand new pc in December, and ever since ive played a lot of new games on highest details with no problems. One time there was some kind of noise from the fan, which a friend solved by replacing and lubricating the bearings. Everything was okay until recently, when the fan started making very fast rattling, clicking noise. I first noticed it when playing WoW, which is kinda strange considering ive been playing games with much better graphics before and this sound was never there. That leads me to thinking that maybe its not by the fan going faster than before, rather than that it might be dying on me.
Ive looked up the reviews for the card on a couple of shops and some people indeed said that the fan is making a rattling noise when the card is under pressure, but it didnt sound like it was that big of a deal, since this was said in reviews that were very positive and those people didnt say anything about sending it back.
So what im wondering is, should i be worried? Can the card die on me if the fan just breaks somehow? Do i need to replace the fan or should i just overlook it? Any feedback will be much appreciated, the more the better, thank you.
Update: found a video with pretty much the same noise that im experiencing (low volume) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw1Purrsshg
