Hey guys, so first off I'm back from the dead Second off, my easter sunday comes with another death - the death of my GPU fan.
Backstory - I was playing CIV 5, my screen kept going black but the game was still playing as music was coming through my speakers. I keep resetting my PC, keeps happening. I open up my case, suck all the dust out, still nothing. Eventually I take a look at my GPU fan and see its not spinning. I have cleaned/oiled it - still nothing - its dead.
Anyway, right now I have a tiny desk fan against my open computer to prevent it from overheating. My question is, does anyone have any suggestions to prevent my GPU from overheating? Ordering a new fan for my gpu will take 2+ months and I will already be at college by then
I was thinking about
A) Putting this directly under my GPU - it will act as a vacuum sucking the air out of the gpu aka doing the broken fans job
or B) Cutting a square in the side of my case and attaching one of these bad boys to suck the air out of the GPU area
