geforce 9600 gt
So I've had this card for a few years now and the fan makes a horrible whining noise. It can start out pretty quiet but it works its way to "ripping your ear drum out" loud after a while. Never have any issues of overheating or loss of performance either. Wasn't sure if anyone else had this card and the same issue. Its the… -
Re: geforce 9600 gt
You can often find aftermarket coolers (which replace the fan and the heatsink) at sites like: http://www.frozencpu.com/. However, it may be difficult to find one for the 9600gt as it's a little bit older. And for the price of one of those coolers you might be able to snag another, similar card. In fact, I've got a 9600gtx… -

Re: geforce 9600 gt
hey man I had the same card and the same issue- it's probably very dusty- you can remove the card and blow compressed air into it and clean the really caked stuff off with a qtip. Problem is- it may be too late. I went through the trouble of cleaning mine after noobishly never cleaning the card fan for 4 years. it helped… -
Re: geforce 9600 gt
Well, no idea what the problem is really. I did once have a CPU, or rather, my current CPU did once sound like a vacuum cleaner. I managed to solve it through the BIOS and SpeedFan. So you could try, either getting an app like SpeedFan. Not sure if it'll be able to control the speed of the GFX card fan, but ought to be,…
