Default Dying Fan!

I have a Palit Videocard and it has been making weird noises that it vibrates the whole case. I think it is dying. Do you think i would revive it or just buy a new aftermarket cooler?

I'd go with a aftermarket cooler. Stock fan are usually bare minimum cooling anyways.

Thanks for the reply king. I just don't get those manufacturers that ship cheap parts and expect them to work most of the time. I had my share of buying crapware but i think video cards need to be exceptionally good to prevent hang ups.

Hmm i've got 2 coolers on my GeForce 6600 GT 128 DDR3 and they were always making very loud noise when i was turning them on , i took my screwdriver and opened them , cleaned the dust and put some vaselline then it worked just perfectly , And yeah Vinnie , i was concoius that they were stock and they suck but to be honest didn't bothered as long as i get the performance i need

What kind of tank are you keeping them in? Ich is primarily caused by bad water quality causing the fish stress leading to a lower immune system allowing the parasite to multiply.

Make sure the tank they're in has excellent water quality, it warm enough and is well filtered - sponge filters are best for fry tanks until they are larger - and of course it needs to have completed the nitrogen cycle before fish are added.
