Okay so I have a 3070 that’s been making funny noises for a few weeks. I googled and it said it might be dust so I used compressed air throughout the inside to get it out. Kept making the noise, but it was a little less briefly.
Today I finally had a graphics crash to black and lose signal.
So the question is: Should I buy a 3070 for $400, or get maybe a 3070TI for $650?
Had the computer itself for 18 months. Brand new.
I did consider just replacing the fans in hopes that would fix the issue but it looks like fans alone would be like $80 and I’m not super confident about doing that myself, so it would probably cost $150-$200 to have it replaced by a pro.
Assuming it was just the fans failing that caused the graphics failure.
