Sup all, i have a almost 4 year old graphics card now, it was a pretty decent one when i bought it.
it's a gigabyte HD 6950, it has 3 fans on it, and now 1 is fully siezed up, and one spins a little when it's under demand
one seems fully functional
i have been debating wether i should get a new card, but right now it seems unnecessary, it runs all the games i want to well, the only problem is that it will sometimes overheat and freeze for a moment
is there any way i can revive the dead fans?
i have maybe 5 months ago taken it apart, air dusted it, and sprayed one of the fans with a silicon based lubricant (maybe not the best?) didnt really help at that point
i also purchased a replacement fan which doesnt seem to have the right cords into it.
anyway, can i revive these old fans? another option i guess would be to get some sort of stand alone water cooling, since i think mounting is pretty well covered for any cards right?
what do u guys think?
