Radeon 9700 N/P Sapphire has gone from nice and non LOUD to...

KH85

Senior member
me nice 9700 is now making a woring sound, i think the bearings on the fan are about to go or something should i RMA it? i only got it 21 days ago!

any advice?
 
Unless you want to void your warranty by putting an aftermarket fan and heatsink on it, then I would def RMA that card. With the fan going out you might as well if you can deal without having your card for a little while.

Mostly depends on if you want to fix it, or just send in for a repair. Whichever you are comfortable with.
 
i was thinking of putting the Zalmon Heatpipe on it 🙂 would you think that would be a good replacement from the stock fan?

Thanks
 
Probly BUT my question now is

Would that zalmon heatsink / heatpipe cool my 9700 n/p which is overclocked ? or would i have to *declock* it as i am now going for a *SILENT* computer 🙂 ( i know i could get water cooling BUT i dont have the money 🙁)
