Xfx 7870 fan help!

[Thomas8838]

So the card I have is an xfx 7870 dd black edition and the fans will spin for a second and then stop, then spin but they just keep stopping. Could really use some help!

Are the rubbing against something? Do they spin freely by hand?

 

[Thomas8838]

Yeah it spins freely, makes a weird noise when the fans do spin.

 

[logang]

Makes a weird noise in that it is rubbing, or perhaps the bearings have gone bad?

 

[Thomas8838]

I know for a fact that it is not rubbing anything it's just making a noise when it does spin for a split second.

Bearings might be going bad in the fan
