Dumb easy question:
Do these fans actually fail electrically (coils/sensor-etc),
or do the bearings freeze, score, or gum up from the heat?
OR, is it a problem with the controls on the card?
(It looks like a three wire fan.)
I don't know, I didn't try to fix it because it is under warranty for
three years, and doing so would end the warranty. And if I fix it I
might not fix it correctly, so that the fan works but maybe not like
it is suppose to, and maybe the chip runs hot and it dies. These
cards aren't cheap.
It might come to that, but I would never feel like I had it running
right.... and there is no real way to check.
I've always solved fan problems with a disassembly,
cleaning the bearings, and new oil, and I'm sure most
(if not all) of us here are capable of that, so I'm a little
confused about the EXACT problem.
