Dear 00slice,
Welcome to the forums!
I can confirm that sometimes if the fan bearing has a failure, then overtime this can mean that the fan may overheat. The fan is regularly cooling the card and other factors like dust build up can help to cause this type of failure to occur as well.
Since you are located in the US or Canada, please email our support team at
Support@EVGA.com with the registered serial number for your card so that they can work with you to help with either a warranty repair/replacement or with a fan to support you.
