Well I'm at a complete loss.
Bought a GTX 1060 that works absolutely wonderfully, but this fucking fan.
Rattles around like the bearings are fucked, but I can't get into it. I've tried spraying WD40 Silicon Lubricant in and it still rattles like a cunt. The fan is impossible to find online and the site I bought it from no longer has Leadtek branded 1060's even listed.
Well I'm at a complete loss

You're such a moron

I may be, but you aren't helping.

There's no help for you, you should have contacted the manufacturer. Now that you took it apart they're probably going to tell you to fuck off. Still, contact them and see if they'll take pity on you for having a single brain cell.
Nathaniel Baker
I figured there'd be a good way to jimmy it up with a case fan or something.
Jason Stewart
Utter retard.
Gabriel Edwards
No need to be salty.
Jose Carter
Next time just RMA it.
Isaac Stewart
No one's salty about a guy who fucked a warranty on a brand new card.

And no offense, but you sound kinda like you jumped in the pool without knowing how to swim. You managed to take it apart so far, which is literally the easiest part. So long as you didn't break anything, putting it back together will be the next easiest part. But now you're reached the hardest part: MacGyvering a fix. The primary sources of noise are friction and unbalanced rotor loads. Experiment around until it is to your satisfaction. Look around YouTube to see if anyone else has tried to silence there GPU fans and see if anything they have done helps.
Don't look here for help though, because 99% of Sup Forums would have RMA'd the GPU.
Finally Godspeed, user

RMA it if you're in the USA.

first and foremost, why the fuck did you buy a 10 series GPU with a 700 series stock cooler?

Because that's the smart thing to do on a device that was in warranty.
Aiden Collins
WD-40's silicone lubricant is fine

Where? It looks like you didn't even unplug and unscrew the fan, how did you expect to reach the bearing?
Carter Hughes
Just remove the fucking fan, stick a 80x80mm fan on the heatsink. Done.
Xavier Baker
Get rid of that blower shroud and install an aftermarket cooler like an Arctic one or something.

If u are without RMA/warranty now you could get a strong regular cpu fan and press it up against it. Wont cool as well but should work OK (you may shorten the life of the card overall this way). If the existing fan cools just fine, play vidya with the volume higher, w headphones or soundproof the case a bit.

Doesn't work well on a blower design cooler. VRAM and GPU heatsink probably aren't the same height.
Brandon Morris
"hurr, im da gefor"
dont get me wrong, i actually like this basic cooler designs
but wow, many gefor
Andrew Moore
Fuck blowers man, just throw a fan on it
Christian Morales
Blower coolers are how expansion cards are supposed to be cooled.
Robert Barnes
You're a fucking idiot use the warranty next time shit head!

everyone else can have dual fans with case extraction for lower rpms

No, it's literally the standard for AIBs that have a TDP over a certain amount.

Sorry you're getting so much flak OP. While an RMA would probably be the smartest move, I do understand why one would not wish to do one. Oftentimes they take forever, and if you do not have an igpu then it renders your computer unusable for an unknown amount of time.
At this point, I would most likely either try to find a replacement stock cooler (not the fan, but the entire assembly) or get an aftermarket arctic cooler or something of the like.
I am not sure why you are being referred to /diy/, I doubt anyone over there will be as knowledgeable about PC parts as Sup Forums users.
Good luck!

just buy an aftermarket cooler and install it yourself, you've already gone this far
