I have a Sapphire Vid card that as of late the cooling fan has became noisy. I cleaned out the dust--it needed it--but it still has a high-pitched whining sound. The Model is 100203LP.

Have any of you had this trouble with your impellers? I thought about oiling the bearings, maybe using light -grade grease.. I am sure that is the problem because when I stop the fan the noise will quit. I thought about unhooking it but I don't want to risk over-heating my equipment.

I am going to get in touch with them and see if they can send me a replacement.

This drives me nuts, especially when I am running silent trying to pick up destroyers.
