GTX460 fans replacable?
« on: June 02, 2012, 10:19:09 pm »
Hi,

I've GTX460 that has one bad fan. Is it replacable? It's already for long, but with summer coming I'm going to open up my case and get everything out to clean it good. It would be perfect time to try replace that bad fan if that is possible? If so is there a guide to it maybe also?

Thx in advance.

Hi

It might just be a case of ther fan being choked up with dust and being off ballance. Once cleaned out it could be back to normal. If not find out if your GPU is still under warranty (some are three years or more)  and if so have it replaced that way.
