i can try to help

Thank you My graphic card is Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT, lately its fan keeps doing an awful noise. I checked the temperature with SpeedFan

and apparently it's fine, but this noise is getting more and more unbearable. Since the fan came with the graphic card, I was wondering

if it's possible to change the fan only or if I should change the card itself...

let me google what the card looks like. Maybe it just needs a cleaning?

and i'll be right back after a google

I can't tell from the image. I have changed fans in video cards before - but each time i had the card in front of me and was able to

make that decision - so it's not impossible

if you google replace fan GeForce 9600 GT there's some good info

depending on how handy you are. Good luck <3 I'd really try a good cleaning of the fan

Not much handy actually! I tried the cleaning but no luck, so I was thinking to bring the graphic card instead of the whole pc to the store

where they put it together... Thank you very much for your help! <333

WinterViper: you should be able to just bring the graphic card and see ifthey can replace the fan. Any good pc repair place could

how did you try cleaning it? i've found that what works for me is taking the card out of the pc and cleaning with a big paintbrush

simply vacuuming is it never enough with the kind of dust (and pet hair) i get around here

I used a paintbrush too, but since I feel a sort of vibration since when the noise started, I think maybe it got deformed or such. I feel

you on the pet hair...

if you've had the card a long while (and by the model number it seems it's not the newest) it's possible that the fan bearings are

wearing out

nods my pc is rather old, I put this card a couple of years ago after killing the previous one lol anyway i guess with SL and videogames

they work a lot XD
