280X Fan noise

[Karateyid]

Got 2 x 280X running in my rig and 1 of the fans has started to make a fair bit of noise... I know its 1 fan because when I stop that fan the noise stops..

not sure if its a lose bearing which is causing it to vibrate or not.. Does anyone know how to fix it or if its covered under warranty ?

I sourced replacement fans from the Chinese version of eBay (not naming etc, though ocuk don't sell them). The card manufactures - or brand people - wanted £20.

Was it easy to replace?

Just thought I have a spare card in another machine. Think I may swap them over till a replacement fan is sourced

£20 - What a rip off!

They know you're trapped.

Screwdriver and paste job. Doesn't require any thought.

Edit: Its finding the right size on the website for your brand card thats the problem. Then waiting the significant time for delivery.
