Take the card out and try to spin the fan freely..if it's stuck and you run a 5970..your going to burn that card up within minutes. If the fan is dead, or the bearing is bad, send your card back

the fan is not dead.. and i have tryed to gently press on the fan. and its about 2 am now in Finland where i live so i will take and screw the backplate of and see if there is anything int the way of the fan.. i downloaded afterburner and runned the fan at 100% as ccc couldent do.. but it had some kind of rippeling sound but its like the fan is pushed to far in. but how can i get the fan out a bit so i can spin as it wants ??? ... and sorry 4/for bad spelling .. from Finland .. no english

no no no... don't remove anything best thing to do is to call your supplier as soon as possible and tell them whats happened an get a replacement, or call the manufacturing company if you open it you can VOID your warranty an you will of wasted your money!

i know your must be concerned but dont jump to anything, expecially if its 2am you need time to think and i think you should deal with it in the morning. You will save yourself ALOT of hassell in the long run my friend
