Graphics Card Fan Stopped Spinning: Overheating, Repair Options & Considering New Purchase

Question

Hello, the fan in the graphics card has stopped spinning, which is why it heats up terribly. The computer is now running dry and its temperature is 70 degrees.

Is it possible to fix it somehow or just buy a new graphic?

It is enough to mount it with clamps or screw on the fan 80 and unscrew the current one earlier. I asked for a photo earlier, this could be answered more precisely.

If this photo is yours, you have already taken it apart. You just need to lubricate this roller. If not, insert a photo on both sides of the fan. Did you look at the link I gave you?

The GT520 is so weak that it can be passively cooled in an airy shed. Apparently, you don't even have a draft, since without a fan it heats up with it.

In the past, this power supply was also new, and now it can additionally increase the voltage under load.

As long as he has never overestimated them. ;) Added after 1 [minutes]: I am asking, users can do things differently ... eg. Install the second heat sink upside down on the teeth for the first one and I am surprised that it is even worse ...

The easiest solution is to replace it. If it is on the card and not on the board, the fan can also be replaced. A photo would be nice.

A mistake, it was about the graphics card.

Added after 38 [minutes]:

The graphics are GT520.
can this card overheat in any way? I read now that not (?).
Currently, the temperature is 65 degrees. We'll see when I start a game ..

Unfortunately, I cannot add a photo now (I will add it tomorrow morning)
I can buy a fan because the price, as far as I know, is a few zlotys. But I can't go to the city and buy, I would have to order, for example, on the Allegro and wait a few days for the shipment, and I do not care about time.

Now suddenly the fan started to spin. What could be due to it spinning once and then not? How to clean it?

Dj Haker · Answer

1. The windmills are in the fields. You have a fan.
2. http://www.dzikie.net/index.php?art=fan_clean
A lot of instructions on the Internet. Search for fan maintenance / cleaning.

This may be because it is rubbed off by dirt or because it is not powered. The first case is the most likely and common.

DenyPL · Answer

I disassembled the card, I have the fan itself, but I can't download it like in the picture to use force is there a screw somewhere that i can't see?

DenyPL · Answer

No, the photo is not mine. I looked at the link, but I just can't completely dismantle this fan. I will try to add a photo soon ..

DenyPL · Answer

I did so that I attached a fan 80 to the card (bigger and probably more efficient than the one in the card) but still heats up, in the 'rest' state it is ok.the temperature is about 55-60 degrees, but when I turn on a game after a while the temperature reaches 100+ and the computer is resetting. what could it be?

Is the inside of the case clean or dirty? Is air circulation good in the housing?

Is the fan blowing air towards the graphics card? Has thermal grease been replaced on it?

Robert B · Answer

Well, show off what power supply you have for this.

wycior01 · Answer

Replace the paste on the graphics - it helps to lower the temperature by a few * C, show off the power supply, maybe it is ailing.

DenyPL · Answer

I have recently cleaned the computer from dust, the fan is directed straight towards the card, everything has been ok since I bought the computer, now such 'hits'
Approx. I will change the paste.
Power supply model: qoltec silentline 425w

Robert B · Answer

No comment.

DenyPL · Answer

ok. I will replace the power supply + card and after the trouble.

swiercm · Answer

What is the card for? Disassemble the heat sink, lubricate it with thermal grease, remove the previous residues, properly install the cooling and that's it. Power supply for replacement, so you can ask in the sales department.

DenyPL · Answer

I would like to add that it started doing this for a few days. also it is not a question of whether there is a draft or not. because she used to do it ...

swiercm · Answer

And this is not related to a sudden increase in ambient temperature? Once upon a time, the paste was new - it lost its properties ...

wariato · Answer

In the past, a man was able to cope, today he will sink like a badger. Nothing is eternal.

DenyPL · Answer

after replacing the power supply, the fan in the card will start spinning normally? + tomorrow I will buy the paste and replace it. Added after 52 : you speak well. Notifications popped up that my voltage was too high

swiercm · Answer

Is. Eternity. :D Oh yeah BTW. Author, maintenance card and replace this power supply. Did you install this fan when removing the damaged one?

DenyPL · Answer

Yes. there is no that.

Robert B · Answer

So I propose to additionally check ALL the capacitors on the board and cards.
