Product: Pavilion 500-242ea
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The fan on my R5 235 graphics card is making an annoying sound and seems to rubbing on somethig within the fan casing.

Is there an easy fix or do I have to send the computer away for repair?

Hi

 

Have you tried zapping the graphics card fan with compressed air? Do the CPU fan and system fans while you are in the mood.

 

Clean everything.

I haven't at the moment but am willing to give it a try. Just ordered some cans of C.A so will get to work as soon as.

Incidentally, the inside of my  tower is fairly clean except for the fans and the fins on the CPU.

Good shout Grzywacz and thanks.
