Squeaky gpu fan

[Yowzer]

My gpu with 2 fans is squeaking a little at load. Will putting lubricant help? But I can't reach the fan as its opening is facing inside, facing the heat sink.

Want to be sure before I risk opening it up.

Also, what are the chances I can replace with fan from another brand of card. But similar model.

U can try adding lubricant. I would go for third party coolers though.

What card is it?

What card is it?

Please elaborate your squeaking sound.

Is it from fan? Turn the gpu fan speed to 100% on idle. Does it squeak?

If yes then fan issues. If no then run a game

If it squeaks on load means coil whine.

Problem solved. Thanks

My card was flexing in the case. Used a tiny piece of plastic to prop it up evenly & sound was gone.
