Hi hello,
I own the EVGA RTX 2070 FTW3 ULTRA since May 2019 and recently there's been some squeaking inside my case.
At first I shrugged it off as outside noise but after a couple of days I got curious, especially since my cat was -very- interested.
Investigating a little bit and using the Precision x1 software I noticed that 'fan 3', the one that spins most of the three, was squeaking at 1200 RPM and up.
Fan 3 is the fan that is farthest from the case, pretty much dead-center in my case.
So I googled around a bit and stumbled on a topic on this forum that said putting pressure on the middle of the fan while the fans are facing up could resolve the problem.
In my case, it didn't.
I have to note it's not so much a grinding noise or any such thing, it sounds more like a mouse in distress or the sound bats make.
My dad couldn't hear it at all until I recorded the sound and played it through speakers.
As long as I'm not gaming the fans are mostly running at 0 RPM sometimes going 900 RPM which is pretty much silent and does not produce any squeaking.
But it becomes unbearable when gaming.
Is there anything I can do to solve this? What are my options?
