Videocard's cooler is crackling

[maximka52]

My Gigabyte GTX 770 fan is crackling sometimes, when i dont play games (720-750 RPM). Also, when i start PC, there is same noise for 0.1 sec.
How to fix?

Is it a bearing or electrical or something sucked in and rattling around flavour noise
And are you competent enough to investigate it.

Two things to determine

I dont know how to remove that fan, cant find any tutorials.

Is it under warranty?
Safer to make it the manufacturers problem.

If its electrical or bearings smashed up then its a replacement issue.

Need to think on before you act here...

Edit: oh yeah... You'll need some replacement thermal paste if you do an autopsy

Here is clicking noise when i start PC.

Can't hear it too well on my tablet but it sounds like a bearing or at a push something stuck in there that soon moves out the way.

Is it under warranty because duff bearings cant be fixed without a new fan

 

[maximka52]

Yes, i have warranty.
