Hi Mr.AntiSocial.

This is an old card. Dropping it damaged something. I had a few fan that I had to actually turn manually until it starts and one of them was the CPU fan on an old system.

The fan motor didn't have enough force to start by itself but could keep the momentum after a push.

You can replace that fan if you want. It's 4 screws and a small cable. Easy to replace with a new fan. If the fan is what is damaged here and not the fan controller on the GPU. Probably the fan.
