Fans for xfx 7950

[wackyquacky]

So I've been messing around trying to figure out why my video card is making so much noise. It's the fans, probably bearings are bad. I'm not sure which one so I want to replace both. Wondering if anyone had experience and know what size fans I need. Also when I removed the fans there's only one fan header on the board and both fans power wires go into a connector that goes into the board. Is that normal or proprietary?

This is my board.

Try messaging their support team to be sure. You don't want to buy the wrong fans! They may even replace the card for you.

If I recall correctly, most XFX cards have a lifetime warranty.

I had an XFX 7750-DD that would make a buzzing sound. At first I thought the fans were shot but it turned out to be vibration - if I pressed juuuust right on the DVI connector, I could get it to stop until the next time I stubbed my toe on the case.

Just sharing an anecdote. Do the support thing.

What happens with my card is that there is a whirring at low load, then when the fans spin up during high load there is a loud screeching that changes pitch. Doesn't sound like vibration and the card is very secured on to the case.

Pm their support hopefully they can help.
