recently my G1 gaming 970's middle fan started to make a buzzing sound and after trying to call Gigabyte for hours and searching through the internet for hours upon hours i have found nothing to help my situation. my friend said to disconnect the middle fan and keep using it... would this void warranty and would it be enough to keep the GPU cool? i play games like Grand theft auto5, Insurgency, BF4, Skyrim etc... and if its ok to unplug the middle fan due to it being able to cool the card with only two would it lower performance? i have my own thoughts on doing this but i need other opinions. Thanks!

I would not recommend unplugging the middle fan. How loud of a noise are we talking about, how long have you owned the card, and where did you purchase it from?

If you can RMA it with warranty, they should honor it, they did with me, as its NOT how it came from the factory,...

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
