Skyrim killed my fan tonight!
I have a 5870, almost two years old getting there almost time for a new card, but I'm still running most things on max settings with little issue.
Anyways has anybody tore one of these apart? What a pain and the fan is the CHEAPEST fan I've ever seen on a card in my life. You literally have to pull the fan off the motor instead of being able to grease it thru the back like ever other fan every made in history.
Anyhow I greased the fan and got everything back together and grinding and screaming seems to have stopped for now.
Anybody else had their 5870 fan die? Did you manage to save it or should I expect to start upgrade shopping before the end of the week?
Also does Skyrim only run hot on ATI. or is it running hot for everybody else? I'm generally at around 80 when everything else runs at about 65 on my pc, from Witcher 2, crysis 2, I mean everything else, Skyrim just seems to run Hot...
