Hi, my EVGA card has developed a bit of an annoying clicking noise (not loud, but annoying) which I've traced to one of the fans as when I set the fan speed to max or when I play a game that causes the fans to speed up, the noise stops.
 
I'm using a custom curve, so when I play a game, the noise stops as the fans speed up.
 
Can I buy replacement fans for this card? It's only about 16 months old.
 
Thanks,
Nigel

    check to see if something like the fans wireing may have sagged   in to the fans blade ?   at high rpm that may have enough air force   to keep it pushed out of the way ??
     
    if not evga don't  offer replacement fans   it a total rma of the card over something simple as that  , but you can find matching fans at e-bay
     
      https://www.ebay.com/b/EVGA-Heatsinks-and-Cooling-Fans/42000/bn_865369
     
    https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2487218.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xevga+gtx+970.TRS0&_nkw=evga+gtx+970&_sacat=42000
     
    if nothing else I had to scab in / super glue a non matching gpu  fan in to a card  from a old card I had around    did not have the right mounting bracket/ holes  and was a smaller size but worked fine to this day 
     
    good luck 
     
     
    if that part number is correct for one of them e-bay  fans for the fan [ PLA09215B12H]

    just check the mounting arms / screw hole placements  have not changed  ????   like I said a drop or 2 of good ca glue will hold them

    Thanks for the info & links. Strangely enough, the ticking noise seems to have gone away - for now! Will monitor it. I did tweak the fan curve a tad and maybe the noise was only happening at one particular speed and the tweak has moved the fan away the critical speed.
     
    Best,
    Nigel

    look up some posts around with evga card and same / like issue  may find some help in one ?  like here it was the wire as I described  for him .

    one thing to check as well is the 3 screws  mounting the fan to the cooler frame .  maybe loose to throw the fan off center at a certain speeds ???
     
    good luck

    If your video card is still under warranty you are always welcome to contact EVGA tech support to see if an RMA is needed.

    EVGA sent me a replacement fan for my 560ti when it died so it's worth asking.

    MSI B550-A Pro
    32GB Kingston Fury Beast 3600MHz
    AMD Ryzen 5600x
    EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti XC GAMING
    22" Wide Screen Samsung S22C300
