The fan started making horrid grind noises this week. Board is under warranty still but RMAing an entire board because a cheap fan bearing has probably gone out seems overkill. However gigabyte from what I'm told won't RMA just the fan. they'd want the whole board. That seems like overkill.
Board pictured is not mine. just a random OC force board i found online then circled offending fan on.
I was curious if anyone has replaced one of these and knows precise part to order and best means of doing it.I've tried to get used to the grinding but its loud and far too distinctive to get used to. It's louder than even the 3 1500 radiator fans that are on the case outside..
