Blower fans, are they supposed to suck or is mine broken?

[littleboats]

I got a PNY gtx970 and it has a blower fan on it. I can hear the damn thing going brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr all the time, it's not an air sound like the processor's cooler does, ir's a mechanical noise. 

Is this something blower fans do or is mine shot?

If it is a bad cooler i'll try to return it to the store.

But if the cooler is supposed to do this i'm gonna take it off and put some other cooler over the heathsink. If i do that, how can i control their speed?

It is supposed to exhaust out the rear of the case. Is the fan spinning?

It's a blower by blowing air through the card's heatsinks to ehaust at the back of the card. You shouldn't feel any air coming from the fan, only the back of the card.

I would return the card and get a non-reference GTX 970. Temperatures will be better and more overclocking potential.

If you feel warm air coming from the I/O panel of the card, then it should be fine.

Guys, the fan works and cools, but he makes noise, the kind of noise is the subject here, should the fan have a mechanical noise?

It's hard to write a sound, but let's say the sound of a the wind being blown is vooooosh, and the sound of this fan is  brtbrtbrtbrtbrtbrtbr, a kind of mechanical sound. I don't know if its becaus of its design or if the little engine inside is defective.

 

I also ask about modding the thing with new fans because there is a chance warranty and dealing with the store won't be smooth because it's an online store and consumer care is shitty over here.

The only thing you should be hearing is the whooshing of the air passing through the card; no mechanical noise from the fan.

I see...  Bad luck then.

 I also bought a coirsair power supply that makes buzzing noises like crazy, but that one i will return for sure.

[littleboats]

So, two people say that the fan should only make air flow sounds? Anyone else says so?

Returning the board will take a lot of time and i will be GPUless for all of it, so i have to decide if i have a case for warranty and if modding the thing wouldn't be more interesting.

I'm back. Sent the card to maintenance, they did nothing and returned it with a loose screw. The cooler still makes a mechanical noise.

If i open the card up and place one or two coolers on top of the heathsink will it work? I'm done dealing with the sellers.
