A fin broke off of my graphics cards fan.

A fin just broke off of my graphics cards fan and now when the fan speeds get above 35 percent it starts making a horrifying noise. I have a sapphire R9 270 dual x. Its way past any return dates. please help

As a short term fix you could try to break more fins so that the fans weight is distributed equally when spinning, That should fix some of the vibration. A long term fix would be going to amazon/alliexpress and find a replacement for the fan/fans (sometimes they come in pairs)

I know for a fact you can find most of the fans on alliexpress just google your card and try to find the model of the fans.
