Hey all,
Over the last few weeks I've started to notice that the fan on my ageing GeForce card is getting very noisy..I've reseated the card, checked the fan itself (it doesnt SEEM to be be touching the edges) but nothing makes a difference.
Has anyone any suggestions, or is the card on its way out?
Thanks in advance for any help.....

I think that's a known problem with creative geforces. Your fan needs some oil. If i'm not mistaken i read it a long time ago on www.geforcefaq.com

That is also the sign that the bushings or ball bearings on the fan are wearing out. I would suggest buying new heatsink and fan.
Check this web page out. The blue orb is the best after market heatsink/fan out there. It works with existing geforce cards.
