graphics card fan
msi geforce ti 4200 128 mb ddr.
the fan on this card has started to make a high pitch whine when i start the system up from cold,then it quitens down. can i change the fan for a better one?. sometimes the tower feels hot & other times warm,whilst running games like IL2 Sturmovik & Morrowind. links to sites would be good. thanks. fugglestone. |

Well if your tower feels warm make sure you have adequate case fans to cool everything. As far as changing your video card fan, it's possible. I don't have links besides looking for new video card fans at newegg or your favorite retailer.
