No warranty left? I bought my EVGA 448 when it came out the market, so probably one of the early buyers, and still got covered by warranty last month. Gigabyte has warranty less than 2 years?

If its just got a clicking sound, give it a good clean out with compressed air, and vacuum, then apply a little sewing machine oil to it.

I wouldn't vacuum any electronics product, for the similar reason why I wouldn't lit cigarette while fueling my car. (anyway I stopped smoking more than 10 years ago.). Seriously, I think the chances are very slim, but still vacuuming can cause electromagnetic damage on certain parts of the electronics. Dusting off with air spray for electronics is OK. I do it on my PC every 6 months.

I meant running the vacuum near it to collect the dust you blow off with the air can
