That's way easier than I expected. Thank you for the excellent tutorial!
You're welcome! Appreciate the feedback.
Great video! I'have got a tech channel too and i like this video very much!
Thank you, All the best of luck!
Thnx for the video!
👍 thank you
Is this fan model works on Asus RTX 3080 Ti OC TUF Gaming, 12GB 384-bit GDDR6X, PCI Express 4.0? I'dont wanna open de GPU just to see the fan model! any help?
Nice video! I validated my RMA on a GPU identical to this one because one of the fans was defective. They changed it for me, but now I hear a "Coil whine" haha. I have researched and as I read the "Coil whine" is not harmful to the pieces, it is even common. Have you had experience with the "Coil whine", is it possible that it reduces the life of the GPU?
Under certain conditions, it seems common. I tested different cards from different manufactures with benchmarking software, and certain tests seem to produce this across multiple cards. I don’t think it’s a cause for concern, though the noise can be a little irritating. But I didn’t have any problems with it personally.
@@sometechguy yes is kind of disgusting sound but now that you tell me that you have not seen this being a problem im more relieved. Thanks for answering.
Amazing job! I've a question tho, did you replace the fans because they were starting to get noisy or damaged?
In this case, I think one of the fans wasn't spinning. It wasn't my card though, so I can't be certain if it failed of its own accord, if it was physically damaged.
@@sometechguy Thanks, I recently got an Asus Tuf 3080Ti which I exchanged for my 3080, the card is in pretty neat condition but it appears that there's one fan that's getting a bit of high pitched noise at certain times.
Maybe there is some wear on a bearing that is causing that, but also check there isn't any dirt or dust build up and that the outer edge of the fan isn't fouling on the shroud. You could give it a clean up with a cotton bud and some isopropyl alchohol. But if it needs replacing, it quite an easy job. Good luck with it.
@@sometechguy Thanks a lot! I did fix my psu fan that had a very nasty noise, I opened the bearing and used sewing machine oil, worked like a charm! Of course a gpu is more delicate to operate with haha.
I have to do the same for my Asus 3080Ti ... what a pain. Shouldn't have to do this for cards that were selling for $2-3k!
Couldn’t agree more. And if you do want to get them replaced under warranty then you can be without a GPU for weeks, so even though you shouldn’t have to replace them yourself, it’s the path of least resistance.
Do you think I could swap them with Noctua fans?
I wouldn’t have thought directly, unless Noctua sell fans of the exact same dimensions (which I am almost certain they wouldn’t). All the Noctua fans I have come with their own housings. So you could remove the fans and shroud and do a custom job, which I think has been done before, but it’s nothing like this video. :-)
old post but if someone see this... I custom modded my GTX1080. It was tricky. I used NOCTUA fans and ZIP ties but discovered weird noise coming from the graphics card due to the extra POWER DRAW likely. I then moved the 2nd fan (not over the GPU processor but rather the VRAM) to a motherboard fan header. I then used "Fan Control" to control the fan based on the GPU (not CPU) temperature. Also, needed a 4-pin adapter as the FAN 4-pin is a different size from the Noctua fans... ended up PERFECT! I had my fans just spin at 300RPM in idle and they rarely went above 600RPM (which I couldn't hear even with speakers off). But...
When I got my ASUS RTX4070 I soon discovered the fans turn on at 55degC and start at 1000RPM. Not super noisy but slightly annoying. You can NOT change that and making a custom fan profile disable the 0dB mode so the fans will be at 1000RPM minimum. Why? I'm debating just wiring in two Noctua LNA's with the Asus fans. They are just a RESISTOR so you drop voltage. Long story short the card works the same but the fan should spin at roughly 800RPM to start which would likely be about HALF the noise. No idea why Asus STARTS at 1000RPM as I highly doubt the fans can't go below that.
I wonder if this fan fits 4090s as well
The cooler on the 4000 series is quite a lot larger. The fan cabling layout looks the same, but the fans have a different molding, and I think they are a fair bit larger at 105mm...unfortunately. The TDP on that card is a lot higher, and this is what leads to the cooling upgrades, including the larger fans I guess.
Do you know if these fans can be lubed, as in, are they open under the sticker in the back?
I have not tried, but looking at the fans on the TUF card I changed, they are fluid bearings and not ball bearing units. Fluid bearings are normally sealed, but should also provide the best lifespan and be the quietest. If the fan is noisy or seems failed, it may not hurt to take look and see if yours is the same, if it’s a ball bearing or sleeve bearing you should find oil wells, but if it’s a fluid beating, you probably won’t find anything. I was able to stick the sticker down again no problem on an MSI unit I opened recently which used a ball bearing. This keep dust and dirt out also.
But I caveat all this by saying that I have not opened up a TUF fan, and from experience with other cards, the fans types can vary.
Check if your model numbers are different, they often distinguish the bearing type.
