I've a Gainward 6800Gt golden sample. It's just under a year old now, and I've got a really irritating problem.
The fan speed is dymanic or static. On dynamic, it changes depending on the amount of cooling required. At 100percent in 3d games, it clicks like the fan is catching on something. really load, and really irritating. If I run it at static, I can run at 99% without a problem. Still, this only occurs when the experttool program is loaded, so on windows startup, it's running at full belt.
Anyone any clues on cleaning / replacement of the fans?

Tried, no joy. The only thing I can think of doing is replacing the cooling system.
1) I don't know what to use
2) The idea of messing on with a piece of expensive kit like this makes me break out into a cold sweat.
Email off to the supplier, I'm going to see what they suggest. Since it's not actually faulty as such, I doubt I'm going to get anywhere. Especially since it's ****, and I've had nothing but hassle from them....

Tiny gnomes could climb inside with wet cloths and sponges. Then you could turn it on.
