ATI Video Card Fan?!

[dreamingdigital]

I have an ATI Radeon 7500 and it works fine. (6mo old)

Today the card's processor fan just started making a lot of noise. It keeps slowing down and speeding up. Is this a known issue? I've never had a real video card before so am I supost to take it in for oil?!!

lol?! *cough* not really funny.

If the fan's making weird noises then it's on its way out. If the card is still under warranty then this should be covered. If not you might have to make some modifications; remove the current heatsink and fan, get some thermal epoxy, and get a blue or crystal orb. These are aftermarket card coolers and superior to stock. If the card is 6 months old then get it replaced though, it should have a 12 month warranty.

Ok. I'll take it in this afternoon. I'm sure I bought that 3yr warrenty for a reason. :)

Thanks!!
