Why don't GPU manufactures send out fan replacements?

[Neil79]

This isn't the first time I've had a problem with a GPU fan, the last one was a 980 and prior to that was a 970 and they all either start or go the same way... Fan rattle or what can only be described as sand being rotated! Instead of cables going under the shroud and the entire GPU having to be returned just because of ONE damn fan, they should send out a fan replacement kit and a simple unscrew and reattach and it's done.. I mean hell you can do that with a cpu cooler!

Here's my RTX 2070 which arrived the other day and being returned tomorrow.. ONE fan is rattling, and because of that I had to have lower fan speeds under 80% which means hotter temps. Anything over 80% and I can hear it from across the room..

Sapphire does fan replacement and XFX full coolers.

You'd think Gigabyte would

I know
Thats why if I buy NV card, will get EVGA

Btw have you considered to find on YT a shroud replacement? Thats the standard one Gigabyte uses the last several years

Being picked up tomorrow matey, all packaged and ready to go

Seeing as it's like a day old in usage, they might as well deal with it!

@Neil79 did you get sorted fella?

A bit buzzy at 95% - 100% but other than that, I'm very happy with it! Lets hope this one lasts

Going to upgrade to a liquid cooling solution down the line
