I just bought a used gigabyte 2070 gpu and 1 fan makes weird noise when running big programs

I just bought a gigabyte rtx 2070 and one of the fans makes a really weird noise I run "big" programs on my pc.

Also is there any way for me to compare stats from a new gpu to mine

Hello

This noise is like the fan running really fast?

 

[Bruce]

or like a wobbling, knocking sort of noise?
can each fan be disconnected off its power header?

you could spray a small amount of CRC20 or WD40 or whatever equivalent your area has into the fan's bearing.
all depends of what is causing the noise - over heating, failing bearing, wear from age.

but ideally, I would be replacing that fan.

I dont think they can be disconected, it's a weird noise only happening sometimes
Its like scratching, knocking sound. It honestly might be wear for age because it atleast 2 years old

Thank you for your help

if it sounds like scratching, with the unit off, manually turn the fans, maybe the blades are scraping against a nearby part.

I fixed it by cleaning inside of a fan and oiling it.

I have 1 more question, how can i test and compare my used gpu to a new one to see how much performance it lost

How to benchmark your graphics card

Even if you aren't into overclocking, benchmarking your graphics card can help ensure your GPU is running as expected. Here's how to do it.

is there a free version of 3dmark?

 

[Bruce]

the Basic version is free for home use, the normal version has a free demo I believe.
