Hello,
I have a rattle inside my computer that has existed in my old and new case, I'm not sure what it is but I think it's the gpu. This is because when I take it out, I can no longer hear it.

I just pulled out my gpu and spun the fans with my finger. The right fan (furthest away from ports) creates a sound while the left is silent.

Video with sound: [video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnb1ny9fRgk"][/video]

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,

Is it possible to replace gpu fans? I also just realised my left fan is spinning slower than the right.
 
That depends entirely on the gpu manufacturer, and the model. Some are made with fans that are integral to the card, some are components that can be replaced individually. With a dual fan card, you might be able to replace both fans because they are made as a single unit, some you might be able to replace them one at a time.

Your best bet is to check with the card manufacturer's tech support.
