Video Card doing a lot of noise

[zemoura]

I´ve a video card ATI RADEON 9600/9500/X1050 SERIES, that today starts to doing a huge noise; i´ve cleaned of the card and fan but the noise still continues; can someone tell what´s probably starts this problem and a way to solve it or the solution is probably buying a new one.
Thanks for the help.

First find out what part of the card is noisey, if you can stick the pc on a bench or table take off the side panel and use a torch and take a good look inside, what else do you have that close to the video card that could be making a noise, i take you took out the card cleaned it up, did you try swithching on the pc without the card in ? if the fan is that noisey, then it's a warning it's going to fail, i don't run ATI but i know how to fault find and it's easy if it's infront of me.
Was there any side to side movement on the fan that indicated ware ? has anything dropped behind the fan ? move the fan by hand slowly and feel if it catches at any point.
look for ware indication on the graphics card around the fan casing.

Just to sure be careful poking around inside a live pc, take all necessary precautions

Would also be nice to know the exact model of card you have, rather then the "series" it came from.

Sounds like same problem what i got at my old graphic card years ago. Problem was that graphic card fan. At my luck that card warranty was still valid and i get a new card, but problem was fan.
