Hey there,
so it seems like my GPU's third fan stopped working. The GPU is Asus ROG Strix 2070 Super.
I tried to spin the fan with my hands and compared to the other fans, it barely moves.
I uploaded a video so you can see how the fan works, it tries to spin but it stops (with a weird sound) so I guess it's dead.
What can I do? Can I replace it at home?
Is it safe to use the GPU until I replace it? Can I still play games with it until I get a new fan?
Thanks a lot!

What sort of temps do you see when it's taxed?

You should be beyond your warranty period for the card but I'm sure you can source a replacement fan for the GPU you have. What is the GPU's SKU?

When playing games it can reach 85C, when doing nothing (browsing the internet, etc.) it sits around 40C.
I have this GPU for almost 5 years, so yeah it's way beyond the warranty period.
The SKU is (and I hope I'm looking at the right place): 90YV0DI1-M0NA00
