Fan Issue with Sapphire 7950 Dual X

Anyone experience this?

Card is still under warranty, but honestly its been very lightly used since I bought it. I'm quite surprised one of the fans on the Dual X 7950 is crapping out on me. It spins at maybe 30% and has a loud click/ticking sound.

I've heard some stories on here about Sapphire taking 2-3 months to replace a card via RMA. Is that true? Or would I be better off buying a set of new fans off ebay for $20 and install them?

I haven't actually looked at the fan/card too closely yet - Is it a big deal to replace the fans on this card? Anyone have any experience doing it? Do I need to remove the entire cooler off the card?
 
I would fill out a support ticket and see if they can just send you the fan shroud setup, especially if the card is still working properly.

It looks like only four screws need to be removed in order to remove the fan shroud assembly.

Yeah

Luckily I have the HD 4600 I can fall back on for a while if I do end up sending it back.
 
Personally I wouldn't even bother with the RMA. Takes so long..... I'd strip the junk fans off and slap a couple arctic 92mm on there and call it a day.
