Ok so this sucks.
I turn on my computer today and apparently the fan bearing for my reference model 5850 has gone to shit and I have very loud noise now coming from it every time it even remotely thinks about spinning.
I've had this issue before with a HIS x1950 AGP, and my solution was to buy an entirely new motherboard with PCIe and move on with life. You know, when we were all rolling in pre-2008 money. Now in 2012 AWS (After Wall Street) I can't exactly do that right now. I'm limping on my remaining 5850 currently but now playing anything is depressing and comes with FPS withdrawal symptoms.
Am I screwed? Is a fan bearing repairable or replaceable? Short of buying a similar card for parts off eBay, is there anything I can do for this?
