Question GPU loose bearing ?

[Chickenfever]

Hi,

I recently started hearing a noise from my right fan which is quite abnormal, I think it is a loose bearing but I’m not 100% sure… I verified that no wires are hitting the fans and also checked if they all spun correctly, which they did… I hope some of you could help me know more about this weird nose the fan is making. Thank you !

The Gpu is a rtx 3070ti Zotac trinity 8gb

Purchased it 1 month ago

Also, it only does it on load but not on idle, which is a good thing!

I actually found a solution for zotacs cards having this type of problem, it’s actually the fan hitting the inside of the Gpu which makes that annoying noise, I managed to put a piece of plastic between the backplate and the part where the fans are which actually gave space to the fans from hitting the Gpu. I hope I can help some of you having this type of problem with zotacs cards which unfortunately are badly designed…
