How to Fix a Broken GPU Fan or a Noisy Fan - Full Tutorial

[@sfsreiq]

Just had to do this on my 580, and holy christ, it worked. I've been having issues with this fan starting to wobble outta nowhere for months and I think it's finally fixed for good. Thank you so much man.

im havin this problem on my 580 rn too mf started wobbling outta nowhere and started vibrating the whole case

@@sniffer6969bruh ts just happened to me last night lmaoo. Shi sound like a spaceship.

[@AlexHusTech]

I bought same one yesterday for £130, they seem to have gone up in value, I need to clean mine also, bearing noise at 60-70% fan speed.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

GPU market is strange at the moment, agreed! But hopefully they’re still on a downwards trajectory

[@AdamWulfric]

Tried this with an Asus RTX 3060 and failed miserably the fan was like literally welded onto the motor and it eventually just shattered into pieces I ended up just replacing the entire fan with one I got on Amazon for $20 fit right in and was so much quieter the difference was ridiculous.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

It’s nice to hear some negative feedback which still turned out alright. Unfortunately it happens, it happened to me recently too. It’s a hard procedure. Getting a new fan always works :)

Thanks bro. Your life saver. appreciate your work ❤❤

My air conditioner died. So I laughed and said, "What's next is on the death list ?". The next day, my Radeon RX 6400 graphics card died. So I tossed my antique ZOTAC GT 710 graphics card into my computer. It does not have a fan and thus it idles at about 57c. So I removed the fan from the dead RX 6400 and glued it to the GT 710's heatsink. Due to the backwards mounting orientation, it sucks air through the heatsink fins, rather than blow air onto the heatsink. But despite that, it now idles at 41c, and the max operating temp is about 67c. The fan has a 4 pin connector. I connected the +12vdc pin and the PWM pin to a +5vdc supply, and of course the GND pin to GND of the +5vdc supply. Running on only +5vdc keeps the fan nice and quiet.

How do you remove the fan from the shroud without damaging any parts?

[@ImWateringPSUs]

It truly is just a matter of pulling, but you have to be very careful and take your time, don't pull too hard. Also subscribing to the channel grants you that needed extra luck :p

@@ImWateringPSUs You could have mentioned that you used the flat iFixit spudgers 😛

[@wildfrisco]

For the fan bushing, I wonder which lubricant would be better: 1) Sewing machine (mineral oil-based) or 2) White lithium (AKA NLGI 2 grade) grease?

[@dunkingaround]

lithium is used for bigger bearings, it will work ofc but with no additional positives. could be more viscous then needed

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Very well said! I’d go with 1 personally

[@vzekl]

Even after changing thermal paste and pads still facing high temperatures the heatsink is not broken. Any idea why?

[@NeoGhk]

I did that to one of the fans but when I wired it back, it stopped working entirely. It took a lot of effort to pull it out. It's "Apistick" brand. What to do.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Check if you accidentally broke a cable! If so, just solder it back :)

[@amirabbasr880]

I hope you would showing up the amount of noise from fans before fixation

[@xenomyr]

A friend of mine lent me his 2080Ti Amp from Zotac but these maggots restricted the card's vbios to a minimum of 35% (1300RPM) while the more premium Amp Extreme version has the fan-stop feature. The fans are super noisy even when I'm browsing the internet...

[@jere1023]

"fully silent" while still having the same noise just a little bit quieter

[@KrakedKen]

I am wondering, my asus rx 570 fans aren't working even when the zero rpm is off, would this work? Please reply

[@cedomirkocic]

Im wondering, i got a rx 470 msi gaming x, one of my fans are really really wobbly but would this work for it?

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Yes it would!

[@MrSamadolfo]

😊 Thanks for the video

[@Anankin12]

Grande video, penso di aver risolto il mio problema. Divertente che avessi la stessa esatta GPU. Avrei preferito che dicessi come fare a rimuovere la ventola, mi sono ingegnato con degli spaziatori di plastica per fare leva e sono riuscito comunque. Ho trovato solo lo svitol per macchine da cucire quindi ho usato quello. Per ora sembra andare benone, in caso di problemi torno a fare sapere. If I assumed incorrectly abd you're not italian I will translate this comment

[@TheGlenDen1]

Great video, now please just do mine for me, it looks like messy work :)

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Ahahaha if you were in Italy I’d do it for you free of charge :)

[@TheGlenDen1]

@ImWateringPSUs you're a legend then 😇 I think I fixed it for now!

[@natasadovenkopopular9878]

İs it possible, to fix it, if gpu fan for my pc sounded normal, but allready few times it sounds louder( after shutting down it stopped to do louder noises)...and today all time its very loud. İ dont know what to do

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Yes! Just follow the tutorial and re lubricate it

[@Simpleman1995]

ok so I can use Sewing Machine oil...intersting👌😁 thanks

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Yess!! Thanks a lot for watching and for commenting

[@AlexHusTech]

*Bargain! Great video!*

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Thanks a lot! I definitely think buying up defective GPUs in such a tricky market is the way to go :)

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Keep up the good work as well, love the content :)

[@AlexHusTech]

@@ImWateringPSUs Yep always buy broken stuff if I think I can fix it, bigger profit 😏

[@ImWateringPSUs]

@@AlexHusTechMy man knows what’s up 😌 Plus the adrenalin you get not knowing if you’ll be able to fix it is kinda satisfying tbh-

[@TheAmangkurat]

how to remove the fannn!!! im confuse

[@D-Ragon84]

Carefully pull from top and use spudgers below

[@michaelversant8401]

It sucks that fans stop working so often...i get about 2 years from a gpu then the fans strip and the card shuts down. Nothing wrong with the card just the fans! Insanity! and they don't make them easy to replace!

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Yeah they should be better engineered tbh
