So one of the fans started making wierd noise, i took apart the card to see if there was something rubbing or not inplace etc. Cleaned it, and it still made that noise, so it must be bearings on the fan going out.
THE CARD: XLRE 1060 6gb, from PNY.
I do know how to replace a gpu fan, have done it before, the problem here is that the PNY design is not the same as allmost all gpu's i believe its a 75mm fan, but the screws that holds the fan are in diffrent shape than the usual (3 screw) design

Little spendy on Ebay, but here you go
$5-$6 is a pretty typical cost for fans like this. I think these are harder to come by with the asymmetrical mounts.

Have you tried contacting PNY?
Hey, yeah i did contact PNY, thay have not responded yet...
But those fans you showed are what i need just idk about spending 20$ on them,
found ones in aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fre...01-4d71-bc57-4adb46819b98&transAbTest=ae803_4 , I think these should work just fine. Sad that i don't have the regular 3 screw design, would make life much easier...
