XFX Radeon 7950 Double D fan?

[techtechie]

so on my xfx radeon 7950 a fan viberates and creates a whole hel of a lot of noise. doesn anybody know where i couyld go for a replacemnt. i really hope to avoid xfx because chances are they wont help since im not the original owner.

Please help!!!!!!

Update........

so while i was googling i came across this email address (neweggsupport@xfxforce.com) i think i might have got it off of the newegg site i took 2 days for a response but maybe it was because i emailed on a Saturday. anyway they responded that they will send out free replacement, no proof of purchase, nothing just an email asking for my address. Just another reason to add to why i love newegg

The XFX double D fans are custom; replacements are not available from any supplier than I have been able to find.

Like most cheap fans, they don't use a proper bearing, just a metal bushing. Dropping a bit of a lubricant into the bushing, by pulling off the fan blades, helped mine a lot.

i figure its a bit touchy work how simple is it to pop of the blades? does it just snap in there?

This is a common issue for those models. It happened to mine within the first year so I RMA'ed it. It has been fine ever since. The stock cooler is crap anyways so if you can find a third party cooler, you'd be better off anyways.

im having a bit of trouble popping off the fan blades. should it take a great amount of prying force or something?
