Is this a known issue? Today one of the fans sounds like a failed bearing. Any reasonable fixes available?

Most reasonable fix would be having it fixed under warranty? Card carries a 3 year warranty and the 2080 Ti FE has not been out for 3 years, therefore, it should be under warranty....
 
give it a couple flicks while its running and check for sagging power cables behind it. then rma or request they ship you a new fan(s).
 
Just look for a spare shroud on ebay people watercooler and stripped them.
 
The warranty for the FE nvidia cards is actually pretty good as well. They'll likely just cross-ship you a replacement card.
 
warranty rma, once out of warranty go nuts and slap a new cooler on it.
