Buzzing fan

[Pelle]

Hi

The fan on my graphics card has started buzzing, and it's loud enough to drive me insane in a week or so. The guarante has run out. Is there anything I can try to fix it? It would be really frustrating if I had to spend > $100 on a new graphics card just because the fan is buzzing.

The card is a GeCube Radeon 9600Pro 256Mb DDR TV.

Would it be completely insane to just unplug the fan and go without it?

Probably. Either buy a new cooler, or try a dab of lubrication oil on the motor

It may just be vibrating. Make sure the fan is secure on the heatsink.

Lubrication oil did the job. Thanks a lot!
