Problem with Graphic card:

Hoary

Go to solution Solved by Fasauceome,

Fans, being the only mechanical part of a graphics card, degrade over time like all mechanisms. Doesn't necessarily mean dust is in there, could be a bum bearing. If the GPU is still in warranty, you could send it it, or look for a replacement fan on eBay.

Hi, I have an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080 Graphic driver, that makes a loud fan noise. There are two fans, but only one of them is making noise. I have tried to clean every single dust out with a compressor, but it didn't work. It gets hot, the speed of the fan raises, and it begin to make noise. Even after shutting the computer down, waiting hours it starts making noise at 4% GPU usage when i turn it on again. It's like it brakes itself, the fan gets really hot right in the middle. I am not able to replace the driver, but if there's an alternative, please tell me.

 

Sound stops if I brake fan with my finger.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Could be a cable under the gpu case hanging into the fan or a bad motor. You can buy those for like 10 bucks on amazon, also you could just take the fan of an old gpu (check it has the same voltage and less or same amps first) and solder on the cable of the old fan, then simply use tape to tape it to the old fans "socket". I ran my GTX 1060 with an XFX 7970GHZ fan for a year now, no problems.

I am NOT a native english speaker and use translate a lot, please do not take it literally and bear with me.

Alternatively you can always go the whole "takin' off the fan shroud and zip tying case fans to the heatsink" route
