So when i put together my computer, about a year or so ago. All was good the gpu installed is HIS 6790 Fan 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E HDMI/2xDVI/DP. The card does its job but then i've come to realize. my the fan on the card sucked i read the reviews and saw people who had the same problem. I am not sure why i purchased this card.

So the fan after a couple months started making loud annoying buzzing sounds but worked fine, now it stopped making sounds and moving altogether.

My card now overheats depending on what im doing and shuts my computer off (this may happen once to 5 times a day untill i figure out what is overheating the card).
So, i have warranty on it though getting it there and back will be slow and i don't know if they'll just give me the same fan that'll break in a couple months again.
So im wondering, should i just ship in back in and wait a couple weeks. Or buy some aftermarket fans ( i think this is what they are called?) for my case to keep my card working though im not sure if the case has more space for fans.

Also, if their are suggestions on other things i can do, maybe a fan fix that'd be helpful.
 
Well ive read some reviews and ya so many people complain about the fan in that thing. People are returning em and getting em back just to have the fan go again. I would probably as much as it sucks get a new video card, i dont see the point in struggling with the videocard with alternate cooling cause it wont cool as well as a gpu fan.

Maybe you can arrange store credit or ask about an upgrade and pay the difference.

The case you are looking at is an excellent case. I have the same one with an extra fan in it and it keeps everything at good temps.
 
So you're saying i should message the company and ask, them if i can get a discounted upgrade or something because of my problem?
 
I would do both, RMA it and then get a new one, replace with aftermarket fan. Very easy to replace. But stop using it, you'll kill it.
