[SOLVED] Asus ROG Strix GTX1080 fan replacements

[Amit BL]

Hey guys,
lately, one the fans became more loose and started making noise of friction with the frame.
I've dismantled the fan to try and fix it, well, it can't be dismantled without force.
So I guess I need to buy a replacement for it, which is really annoying since this graphic card is in use only 3 years.
Which brand do you recommend to buy? where can I buy it from?
And, if by some chance I can fix the fan, please tell me how.
Um, that's the model I bought:

Thanks!

Hey man, you can replace these fans with this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007YLUCKQ/ref=twister_B07Z9J861F?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 or you can replace them with this if you want to water cool them which I recommend but you have to buy an h55 also: https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Kraken-G12-Mounting-Compatibility/dp/B06ZZN9N85/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2JRC3NLPOQYPX&dchild=1&keywords=nzxt+water+cooling+gpu&qid=1587836549&sprefix=nzxt+water+co,aps,162&sr=8-1
There are videos on how to do this on youtube, it's not too hard, just remember to put a lot of thermal paste on the GPU. Good luck!

I'm using H115i to cool my CPU, so I think it should work with water cooling.
Can you link me to a video explaining how to do so?
Edit:
I've looked it up, it requires me to switch more than one fan (Kraken G12), I'd rather stick with the fans.

Yeah, you could, you just need to take the existing heatsink and fans off your GPU then replace it with the arctic one.
