GPU fan hitting GPU causes overheating and performance issues.
The fan is affecting the GPU now. Is this fixable? Should I handle it myself or let Nividia deal with it, which might delay my PC for 2-5 weeks to avoid voiding the warranty? WhatsApp Video 2023-01-04 at 14.38.16.mp4
I think the bearing might be faulty or the fan is out of alignment. If they suggest fixing it, they’ll give you the word. You can adjust the fins, but if the bearing is bad, the fan could fail eventually, and that would mean the bent fins are the real problem—making repair impossible. It really depends on whether you need the card right now or want a longer-term solution. I’d rather wait a month without playing but have warranty coverage for bigger problems later.
