GPU problem

Hi guys yesterday I got r9 270 gigabyte windoforce 2nd hand very cheap. However I noticed that one of the fans is making weird noise, like it was rubbing against something or bearing is worn out. Any ideas on solution?
I tried to lower fan speed and increase it and at 65% it can be barely heard but card (fans gets louder as higher rpm) noisier.

The card was released in November 2013 so I believe it should have warranty if it is transferable.

Also the fan makes noise from 25% which is minimum speed that fan spins. When I increase speed eg 55% this noise becomes less audible. However this might be because fans become more loud.

I have cleaned the card before installing it was a little bit dirty but now it's clean. I used isopropyl alcohol wipes to clean them and replaced thermal paste too. BTW I didnt clean pcb just give it a blast with compressed air

With gigabyte i believe warranty is with the original owner only. Only evga allow transfer of the warranty to another person.

Okay thanks for that info.

So if I were to replace a cooler can I buy for example very cheap spare or repair card and replace the cooler. Im not sue what is pcb of this car reference or custom? Or maybe should I go buy new insted if so which one. Im quiet on tight budget as I dont want to pay more for a cooler than I paid for the card so max £30-40.
