Hello all,
One of my GPU fans in my nice new PCS machine (specs below) is getting noisier and noisier and even stops and starts sometimes.
It's all my own stooped fault, as I turned the computer on BEFORE I'd removed the big wadge of packaging foam that holds everything in place.
The fan won the fight, or so I thought. There was no noise to begin with but now it seems that the packaging caused a slow and malignant injury that is getting worse and worse.....
Upshot being I need to replace that fan.
So.…...is that possible, can I do it myself (I'm not afraid of putting a screwdriver inside my delicate areas), and where would I get it from?
I've looked a bit at the GeForce website but its not very helpful....
Any help would be most gratefully received!
Cheers
