need cooling help

[compguy786]

I have a Chaintech Nvidia geforce FX5500 256MB AGP/
i have had this card for a year, and now it has this weird noise, the fan noise. it sounds like a loud jet engine, makes my computer go along with flight simulator as well. i opened the fan up cleaned it out and put it back in, that still didnt solve the problem, any software fan controllers to regulate speed, make faster or something ? it sounds HORRIBLE !
help would be greatly appreciated !
thanks

look dude, that happens to fans, there are a couple solutions to your noisy predicament: buy a new fan (my personal favorite), or just put some bearing lubricant on the bearings, that could be really tricky, If u choose to go for the new fan i would recommend to you to buy a fan that has BALL bearings instead of sleeve or cylinder bearings.
