Hi.
After 2 years of using my GTX660 (2Gb - 192bit) a strange noise comes from it.. very simmilar with the hdd, somehow like a "series-of-clicks". I've read a few comments related by searching on google but wanted to find out more about this issue since affects a lot the entire system silence. Is this a common issue? I think it's related to the fans bearing but I'm not sure.
My products has warranty until August 2017.
Thanks for any suggestion!
I've uploaded 2 videos on youtube and I hope are relevant.

Does the noise go away if you stop the fans using your fingers?

Haven't tried.. but is this safe to do? I don't want to damage it..and it's pretty risky at such speed.

It's safe to do.
Don't stick your finger inside the fan blades.

Hi
Tried to investigate more before RMA it and found an interesting behavior. The first blade seems to be responsable for the entire scenario – it’s “free” enough to get influence from the fan and make noise. I quess the weld between it and the others is weakened but I’m not sure.. haven’t tried to force it more. As a temporary solution found a small rubber and place it inside – it’s silent again! I want to know how this can be solved in a professional manner..how are the blades grouped or welded? What should I do?
Thanks!
