NVIDIA GeForce 7300 fan problem

**mobo_king** · 23-01-2009

Hello,
My NVIDIA GeForce 7300 fan is making some really loud grinding noises. I've blow it out, checked to see if there is anything in it, etc. Nothing has changed. The fan is loud and vibrates the whole video card. I don't even know what the problem is Please help.

Is it a new card ? Could be the fan is dirty, fan is weak, heatsink loose, there isn't proper ventilation for airflow in your pc.

If this is a PCI-E16x machine, might as well use the rattle as an excuse to upgrade. A 9500GT or HD4650 would be radically faster in games, but should cost $35-40 and $50-55 in games, respectively. Both run on standard 300 watt power supplies, and the ATI card is a good bit faster than the 9500GT.

Use Newegg and Tigerdirect for all your shopping needs.

Is there a customer service number that I can call? I've looked all over the site and can't seem to find anyway to contact nvidia about the faulty fan.

just get a new fan and heat-sink.type in CoolerMaster VGA coolers or just VGA coolers into your search engine and you will get plenty of results... don't get one that's to expensive tho because you can get a better graphics card then what you have for the price of some coolers.
