    I think one of my fans is starting to go. Occasionally makes a grinding sound. Anybody know a place I can buy the fans for an m17x R2?

    Maybe the powercable is somewhat loose and touching the fan?

    Just an idea..

    I can check that, but it sounds more like one of the bearings is going to me.

    I actually bought my secondary GPU fan off of e-bay. A number of sellers have them.

    Thanks. Any real difference between the Delta and the AVC?

    Thanks, looks like a lot of options on eBay.

    Nope, both are a good choice.
