Afraid i ruined 1 fan on my 1070 Rog Strix

[IAmAkiro]

Earlier today I took my PC out and cleaned it with an aircompressor, now when I clean my parts i hold the fans down, but for my GPU I take a  cottonbud like this:  

But I am afraid i might have taken the Compressorhead and hitted the 1st fan. I use this to blow it down: http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/1000/3c/3c568041-ea25-4145-bb71-9c641a2d6228_1000.jpg <- (image is to wide)

Reason I think i broke it, is because in Dota 2 (fps_max 240)it hits around 150-180 FPS on a lane.

usally it doesn't hit 57 degress in the game, when i am on a lane, but it does now, I'm currently running Heavens 1080P Extreme ultra 8xaa 

24 minutes so far Max temp: 62 degress RPM: 1540 <- Max, my fan % maxed at: 42%

I cannot take the side of at the moment since i have a sidefan (Haf X) 

So my question is, since I might have given it a slight bump could that mess up my fan, when i look in the case Fan number 2 and 3 are running at least. but can the 1st one be idle or am i just overreacting? 

I will post screenshot off my Tweaktool and HWiNFO after the run.

Also before cleaning it, it hitted around 63-65 degress in Heavens, so at the moment I'm thinking it did nothing for my card cleaning it out. Likely I pushed dust further in the card, os should It get out when I clean it with an aircompressor?

Just open the case and look at it, you can unplug the fan when its running if you want.

I prefer shut down my PC to check it though, and just start up Tweak tool, but still thinking if the 2nd and 3rd are running, wouldn't the 1st run too though?

just take the cover of, its the easyiest way to check, why can't you do that.

[IAmAkiro]

I won't do it while the PC is powered  

[IAmAkiro]

But I think the fan should be running else the temperatures should be higher than this in a stresstest. 

in reviews they say the PC runs at 65 degress. and mine hits 62 maxed.

Use any GPU overclocking software (MSI Afterburner is the one I use), set the fans to run at 100%, then check if all fans are spinning

Look through the side panel if you can then.

Its REALLY easy to break the fans on the Strix cards.  

If you did, and its still under warranty just tell them it broke when you started it and RMA it. 

 

Since your in Denmark, I have no idea where you'd send it,  but when I had one break, I sent it to Louisville KY.

@Jurrunio I can only watch number 2 and 3, and they're both spinning hard. It's been running heavens for around 45 minutes now, will that be a stable max temp? 

[IAmAkiro]

@Katsunaka I haven't heard it was easy to break them.

why can't you see no.1? Guessing whether it works with temperature is impossible.

There is a a fan there, i can't really watch over it though.

Here is my case.

Just take the panel off dude, don't know what you're worried about. As long as you don't touch anything nothing can break

Then take the side panel off when it's shut down, then start it up.

 

Heck, my PC runs with both side panels taken off because some [profanity] broke them during shipment. It works, as long as you don't touch the insides.

[IAmAkiro]

I will try it some day, but i think myself now they aren't broken since it only hits 62 degress. 

It's soon been running for an hour and it doesn't go over 62 degress.

Really?

I have one and am now worried.

 

how easy?

[IAmAkiro]

Here is one hour of stresstest. 

   

settings.

In This Thread: OP thinks fan is broken, refuses to look at fan to see if it's broken or not, maintains that it must be broken.

 

[Khamul]

Don't open the side panel, there are viruses on the outside.

Just try to not stick your finders in when they are spinning

[bcguru9384]

i think person does not have direct access to this system which is why they want to know how to get the hardwares software answer to status of fans

otherwise they would have done simple step of pulling the side panel off

I ask because I am kinda uncomfortable taking my PC apart since I'm not that techy, that's why I ask

How did u manage to clean the gpu the . It's perfectly safe to open the door while the pc is on. Just use your phone and record a video but I bet the fan is perfectly fine..
