Ok... i tried some DIY... took the fan off and sprayed some electronics cleaner in and it spins fine now with my finger. Plugged it into the card and installed card again without screwing the fan onto the card. Worked great. Took the card out, screwed the fan on, put the card back in and the fan works like crap its very noisey and barely moves. I dont know what else i can do without replacing it. Any ideas?
I have the fan unplugged right now - it wasn't working before obviously so i'm ok since i dont play my games anymore (they froze... probably because of the dead fan).
thanx for any help, again!
