Hey! I currently have a Gigabyte GTX 1070TI Gaming that can be overclocked to +240 on Core and +550 on Memory. I think this is a solid overclock but the right fan isn't working. Should I buy replacements and attempt to replace myself or RMA the Graphics Card?

Its better to rma it, replacing the fan yourself could void your warranty.

Get a temporary card from Fry's or Best Buy and send it in for RMA as PokiDaSpitz said.  Better be safe then sorry ya know.
