Hey all, my reference XFX5850 fan bearings sound like they are gone (intermittent knocking sound coming from fan), it is the "blower" type cooler. What are my best options for replacement fan? Where would I go about buying one?

Not buy a new card ;)
 
I had same issue, just taking the fan apart and putting a small amount of oil/grease in the rifle bearing fixes it. Bear in mind the fan blade needs prying off the motor with a fair amount of force (see
, turn down sound first though)
