I have a video card cooler that is making noises.The paddles of the fan(sorry for bad english,I don't know how to describe the moving parts)are not on their normal field,they lean a little bit like the rotor of a helicopter and they are touching and scratching the bottom of the cooler's "body".That's how they make a scratching noise sometimes.Not always because it spins normally on it's field,then bends and makes the noise,and again normal spin etc.What should I do with it?I can't find any nails on it.|||It sounds like the bearing in the fan has gone. One cure is to replace the fan (if you can locate one). You could also buy a third party cooler replacement to fit to your graphics card. Thermalright, CoolerMaster, Akasa, Zalman and AC Accelero make them for AMD/ATI and Nvidia cards.|||Pull it out and move the heatsync on it to the right spot, (the metal cooler)
Then your fan should go smoothly
