My brand new PNY Verto Geforce FX 5200 Ultra card's fan makes a loud buzzing noise that fades in and out! Does anyone know how to fix this and/or get a quick-install replacement fan? thanx!
check the wire for the fan maybe it is hitting it . also you might want to pull the sticker off the center of the fan and put a DROP of oil on it and put the sticker back on . kinda a waste to send a card back for rma for a noisy fan .
You can't as the fan axle doesn't stick up through the metal. Actually i don't even know if it is my VC fan. How would i determine this w/out wrecking the card?
I don't know how fast the fan on your card is, but for my TI 4200 I used my finger to stop the fan , and found out it was the fan that's making the noise. The fan on a video card shouldn't be stronge enough to cut you, but I can't guranteed that. So do it at your own risk.
I’d just buy a thermaltake video cooler if it is your fan. They're one, if not, the best, cheap ($10), and the install is easy
1 flip the card over (so the heat sink is facing down)
2 squeeze the tension clips (2 pegs) together and through the board
3 flip the card back over and pull off the heatsink after unplugging the power connecter
4 add more thermal paste if needed
5 put the new heat sink in place and push down the 2 tension pegs
6 connect the power
yeah im getting that weird sound too but have not cheacked what it is it started after i got the vid card. where can i get a good fan and heat sinke for my fx 5600?
