Rattling Fan in GTX 760

[Max604]

Hello,

The left fan seems to spin slower while shaking a bit and is the one creating the rattling noise.
The right fan is fast and smooth.

What are my options to deal with this rattling fan?

Please help if you can, I haven't been able to find a solution yet.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Max

sometimes clean is helpful

sometimes you can disassemble it and put more grease, lithium i think is used

often is better to buy the tho fans and replace them, the other will soon do the noise and the first will basically stop

sorry, doing the best i can

disassemble the fan, you need to take the gpu out and see if any service can be done to the fan once you disassemble it, it is possible that you can only clean it, not grease can be applied to the fan on most models

if the clean doesn't help, see if you can find both fans to replace them, if one failed, the other might fail soon too so better change both

What he meant is that sometimes you can disassemble it and add LUBRICANT. There are videos on YouTube on how to do this, but I generally do not recommend it.

He also said often it is better to buy the TWO fans and replace them. He is also somewhat correct that if one is failing, the other might be getting there as well. Your best option is to replace the fans. It is fairly easy, and you can clean the heatsink at the same time (the metal fins where you can see a bit of dust). Not too bad in terms of dust as it doesn't look clogged, but a bit of dust can reduce efficiency. Use a air dusting can for that. If you want to go the extra mile, you can replace the thermal paste as well if you haven't already, which will ensure cooler operation and thus the fans will not need to spin as fast in gaming to achieve great temperatures.

What variant/model is your card? I can see it is a Gigabyte Windforce, but at times the models may be an indicative difference in fans, etc.
