GPU Fan fail

ituserit, on Monday July 14, 2008 12:49:26 PM
Hello,



For the past 2 days my gpu fan was making loud noises. I removed my gpu out and cleaned lot of dust from the fan and put it back in, but it still made loud noises.
Today evening I turned on my pc and the noise was suddenly gone, it was dead silent.
I opened the case and found the gpu fan was not rotating, and the cpu temperature in view was 114C.
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello

Over-use didn't break the fan...the problem is due to dust in the fan bearing. All you can do now is clean it as best you can. As a precaution, you could remove the fan & add a drop of oil to the bearing. But if you're concerned that the fan might seize up & overheat your GPU to death, you should consider replacing the fan with a new one or at least shutting down the PC when it's not being used.
In the future, clean the inside of your PC on a more regular basis.
