GPU Fan Wobbling and Making a Rattling Sound.

[LlamaCat]

I have had this MSI GTX770 TwinFrozr for about 3-4 years now, since 2013 if I remember correctly, and this is a very new problem. The fan wobbles and makes this relatively loud rattling sound as if it's hitting something, but it's not. The warranty's probably run out so I can't get it replaced. I think/hope it's a fixable problem. Here's a video of it:

What's the problem here? How can I fix it?

Thanks.

I just had to replace the fans on my msi 780ti gaming. You can find replacement on amazon(which is what I did) for about 15-20 bucks. Get your TIM, clean up the heatsink(when you remove it from the card). Pull the 2 screws that hold part of the red plate cover around the fans, then the 3 screws that hold the fans on, gently slide the fans out, put the new ones in, and reverse operation. Make sure to clean that GPU and the heat sink up really good, using alcohol and microfiber pad.

Those are the fans, I bought em from some retailer in China, took forever, I think you'll want to find those fans from someplace closer. I had another twin frozer card in the closet that allowed me to swap the fans long before the replacements showed up.

I have a feeling the bearings are worn out since the bearing wear out on fans

Of course that's the case. In the OPs case, he needs to replace them before his fan(s) stop working(one of the fans on one of my 780tis stopped and my card ran quite hot as a result).
