Card:
Nvidia XFX GeForce 8600 GT (no overclocking)
About 3 years old
My GPU fan is not working properly for sometime. GPU temperature is at about 85C (idle). The fan rotates about 5-10 degrees every 5 seconds (technically 0 but maybe the fan isn't dead?). I have cleaned all the dust from the heatsink, but the problem still persists.
What might be the problem? Oiling, fan replacement? If the fan needs to be replaced, what technical details do I need to buy a new fan for my card?
