Wondering if there's a simple way to stop my graphics card's fan from "whirring", which started today. I'm not great with PC components but I tapped on the GPU case which stopped the whirring for like 2 seconds before it started up again, so I'm assuming it's the fan making the noise.
I assume there's a bearing in the fan that's gone bad or something, this entire rig is close to a decade old and needs replacing, but I can't afford to right now so I'm just wondering if there's a simple DIY fix for it so the noise doesn't drive me insane. The card is a Radeon 5870 (to the best of my memory) if it matters.
