Yeah, I'm not kidding here. The card has two fans. When operating at low speeds, one fan is working smoothly and silently. The other one sits idle for about five seconds, and then spins slowly for two seconds, while making a noise like a sick cow. Then it's silent for another five seconds.
I cleaned the fan with compressed air; no effect.
When I force the fans to operate at higher speeds, it seems to alleviate the problem... at least, I can't see it slowing down every few seconds.
See and hear it for yourself... The fan blade are visible just above the "R7800."
Any idea if this is something I can easily service? The card is a little old, but other than this fan issue, it's working fine, and I'd rather not replace it.
