Prime95 blend and large FFT tests make my desktop drop without a stop error

alright the weird chirping and revving noises came back but I've managed to find out where it's coming from, it's one of the fans ontop of my computer tower seems to be dying or has something stuck in it



how do I get this thing to shut the fuck up? it seems to be apart of or directly above the liquid cooling system or whatever this thing is on the top with the two BBCs coming out of it



inb4 the faggots at the computer repair store ripped me off and I didn't need a new graphics card at all

either something is stuck in it restricting free movement or the ball bearing is breaking/leaked it's lubricant... you need to find an appropriate replacement. what model closed loop cooler is that? should be able to find an exact or similar replacement online, unscrew the radiator, take the fan off and unplug it, and put the new one in it's plug/place. its a very easy task, just make sure you dont have the power unit plugged in and touch metal on the case to discharge any static electricity. if you zap a ROM chip on the board you could accidentally wipe it's memory and brick the motherboard. dont touch chips willy nilly especially if youre on carpet.
