  1. My GPU does a rattle noise


    So this is very new to me and it all started yesterday. First, one of my fans moves slower than the other one and at some point, I can hear the fan making a strange noise despite the temperature being under 83 C while playing but it won't last long. Is this a sign of a dying fan or whine coil? Another problem is that my room is always warm and was cleaned of dust recently.

    :)

    GPU Fan Rattling/Clicking Noise Simple Mod/Solution.

    I was having a rattling/clicking sound with a new GIGABYTE™ GeForce GTX 1080,
    when the fan speeds were set between 60-75%.Upon further inspected of the card.
    I noticed a small space,
    (about 1 to 1.5 mils) between the plastic fan mounting brackets and the heatsink. This is to say,
    that the rattling/clicking sound was being produced by the fan mounting brackets,
    making contact with the heatsink.
    To remedy this,
    I used a small piece of adhesive-backed felt,
    folded in half, (adhesive sides of felt folded together).You can use something other then felt,
    but it needs to be soft and fit snugly between the brackets and the heatsink.Without causing any undue stress on the brackets.
    This is why I chose to use felt.
    This small piece of soft felt folded onto itself,
    was just thick enough to add the right amount of pressure against the mounting brackets and the heatsink,
    without causing any dislocation of the brackets themselves,
    or putting the fans out of level.
    Doing this creates a small wedge of soft felt,
    between the plastic mounting brackets and the heatsink.There's also no disassembly required,
    other then removal of the GPU to preform this operation.I used a hobby/X-acto knife,
    to gently slide a small piece of felt,
    between the fan brackets and heatsink of each fan.
    Only 3 small pieces of felt,
    as described above.
    Was use for this processes.After doing this,
    there's no more clicking/rattling sound,
    at any fan speed coming from the GPU.

    Below is a graphic I put together.
    As an example of what was done.

  3. Lumia 950 rattling noise?

    I have had my 950 since Christmas and have recently been noticing some rattling noises emerging from the top of the device. If you shake the device you can hear a slight rattling noise, even when the back cover is off, and a very noticeable reverb-like noise
    when you put the phone down face-first, but you don't get any of this when the phone is facing screen-up. I don't know if it's the camera, if it's natural or not... Also makes loud vibration noise when you tap it even the slightest near the top-back of the
    device. I think that it might be the camera housing and it is not the battery, if so then never mind I can deal with it as long as it isn't something loose.

    Anyone else?
