GPU Fan Problem

[Zepso]

The Problem is That I have 2 GPU's that run seperate monitors (non-SLI)

GTX 660 Twinfrozr III OC Edition

 

 

One of the Fans only Spins out of the 2 but only on ONE GPU the other is fine...

 

I have tried to use the faulty one on its own also tried it in both PCI Slots

 

My Specs; (If Needed)

Also i noticed one gpu has hynix memory chips and the other has samsung memory chips

Hi,

 

I have that card and when you boot up it is meant to spin the fans to 100% in reverse to try and clean the heat sink fins.

Does it do that on boot? 

One other thing to check is that the card will have fan headers that the fans plug into just like your mother board so try and see if they are pushed in properly or even unplug them and swap the headers that they are connected to and see if the problem moves, that will prove if it is the card or the fan.

you can buy those fans and replace your self if needs be as it is more likely to be a fan problem or if under warranty even better.

 

Hope this helps!

rma or replace with an aftermarket cooler

[Zepso]

yeah they do spin but i don't think to 100% but as soon as the computer boots up that ONE fan stops and the other just keeps going like normal

plus i will have ago at the headers also are the fans easy to take off ?

 

also thanks zsanfusa might look into that

[thekeemo]

either send back in with the warranty or replace it with an aftermarket one and theyre kinda easy to get off but you will need to apply thermal compound on it again

[LotMonkey]

It is just like changing a CPU heat sink, just make sure if you remove it to clean the contact surfaces with a little but of nail polish remover to get rid of the old compound and then you can either use the stuff applied to the new cooler or just put a blob of HS paste on each contact point then just screw it back on!
