This is the gpu im using. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202080


1 of the fans stopped working and now i have a loud beeping sound. Is there a way to disable this sound? Now my heat stays around 60c but games crash when i try to load them up. I can watch twitch and stuff just fine. Pretty sure my cpu is bottle necking it too. Im running a 2500k i5. Do i need to buy a new gpu and cpu? Need some help plz.

still got warranty rma it?

Don't think so. I bought it 11/21/2014

Had a 2 year warrenty.

Saw the link, ty. I dont even know what lube to use on it and ive never taken a graphics card apart.

Shouldnt have to take it apart to replace the fans, fans should just be held in by 3-4 little screws each.


Should take like 5 minutes~

I don't know if its just the fans though. I don't see why my graphics card shits out on me when i try to load in a game. Should still work fine just heat up a little bit more right?

Depends on the temps.

290x typically runs very hot. Losing 30%~ of its cooling (More if its directly over the GPU die) Can cause temps to sky rocket.


What do you mean 'shits out on me'?

Well the 1 fan stopped working closest to the cable plugin side. It runs with nothing going on at about 50c hottest point. So im guessing when i load in a game thats when temps sky rocket cause it freezes on me when i start doing graphic intensive things.
