hiya, got an xfx 4890, bought from oc when they was cheap
getting a problem with the fan, when i boot up for up to half an hour to an hour i get a groaning noise.....
had a look inside just now and found the fan wont spin up till temps get high but then it stops starts etc..
anything under about 45% fan speed and it will stop start and groan, the only way to get it going is to ramp up fan in ccc and then slow it down and then switch back to auto after about 5mins
i take it the fan is on its way out....but what options i got for it dont want to rma for a fan and post to send back for something thats easily sorted....
can these fans be purcheased would oc send me 1 lol or is it bodge it time and hope lol
ty for any help
edit... i know i can buy a new cooler etc but just wondered if the stock fan can be bought for it
