HELP !, wierd fan noise from msi 7850 ?

[al2xhds]

hi, my gpu ( msi 7850) is making a slight high pitched noise and when you stop the fan completely it stops the noise so what does this mean, please help 🙁

 

[al2xhds]

It means that fan is making noise.

how do i fix it

 

[al2xhds]

By replacing the fan. Or for temporary solution, by cleaning it and (if it has sleeve "bearings") lubrication it with grease (or if you don't have it, oil).

it sounds like its scraping against something,

 

[al2xhds]

Well, see if the fan blades are making contact with something. And clean it

the fan blades arent making contacted, its the acual centre bit

 

[al2xhds]

Disassemble the fan. If it has ball bearings, you can only replace the fan, if it hs no bearings, you can clean it and lubricate it.

tbh i have a rough idea on how to take it apart but i wouldn't try so is their a tutorial on how to take it apart

Would you be willing to rma the card? you might not have a video card for a few weeks but most well known video card manufacturers will honor an rma for a loose fan or coil whine issue

what would i say to msi about my problem and they will do something about it

 

[eatmypie]

You could call them and describe your issue they will go through a timely process of going through the obvious issue's possible, and then they will reefer you over to rma. you fill out their thing pay for a way to ship it and then they send it back within about 2 to 3 weeks of arrival. I normally just call to make sure there's a chance for them to rma it. I forgot to with one of my older video cards, so I always like to clarify on both ends from the manufacture and the owner. cleaning the fans would possibly work but then you risk loosing a chance to rma your card, and 90% of the time they just say yeah it's bad and send you a brand new card
