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.

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.
