Weird GPU Fan Noise

One of the fans on my Gigabyte G1 1060 6GB is making this weird clicking noise in the 40%-60% speed range.

 

It's similar in sound type to the clicking of a hard driver, and it's only on the left fan. Below 40% it doesn't exist, and above 60% it goes away. The right fan just had an issue of bumping against the shroud, which I fixed, but now that the louder sound is gone I can hear this one.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking lube, but knowing Gigabyte that'll probably void my warranty. It definitely sounds like it's in the bearing, not rubbing. I also checked the fan cable, it's clear. I don't think it would be worth the time without it for the RMA, so if nobody's got any suggestions I guess I'll just have to live with it.

 

Thanks, Alex.
