The fan on my MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 (reference model) recently started making what sounds like a light clicking/rubbing sound when idling. Although quite quiet, whilst working at the PC, it becomes rather frustrating after a while!

Any ideas?

I'd really rather avoid RMA'ing it as it would put my machine out of action. I read somewhere that XFX ship replacement coolers, any idea if MSI do?
 
try pulling out the card and applying light pressure to the center of the fan it should push the impeller back onto the shaft and hopefully stop the noise,thats what i did with my 6950 and its been fine since
