About a day ago my gpu started making a struggling sound and it seems to be the fan. It's a light rattly noise, I'm pretty sure it's dying.
It's only over a year old, but I generally run my fan at around 60-70%, I was told by almost everywhere that it wouldn't harm the gpu in anyway and would only make it last longer since it would stay cooler, but could that be the reason my fan died?
Also, any suggestions to fixing it? My warranty is over, so I am considering selling this one for a low price (of course letting the buyer know, so only to someone who could fix it) and buying an Asus 7870. I'd buy a new fan but I've never messed with GPU's before and I'd be afraid of breaking something even more..
