Title: Gigabyte fan Won't spin. please help!
Post by: xThunderxWolfx on May 19, 2014, 12:31:49 am
So, I noticed when gaming my computer would give of a permanent marker type smell, I thought maybe it was just getting hot, but as the smell got stronger I decided to see what was up, my friend told me to check the fans, and low and behold, a fan had stopped moving. (Pretty sure it's a GPU fan but not positive.) So I dust it out, because there was a ton of dust in it. And now it refuses to spin. help? I have pictures of the affected fan.

It's the bottom right fan in the picture. The only one without motion blur. if this isn't clear enough, i have a few more.

And my GPU is an Nvidia gtx 560 ti

To be clear, I'm looking to either fix it, or find a cheap replacement.
