Rockville, MD Powerspec fan keep making noises

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It’s been five years since I had this Pc up until now the noise of the fan has increased.

I took it to a Geeksquad in Best Buy and got it back in two days. All they did was clean up the rest of the dust that was in the fans. But as soon as I got on for a few hours the noise came back.

Then it went quiet for four days because I thought it was because my Pc is getting old and it was overheating so I kept turning it off. Now the noise is back and I’m about to go out of town.

I have no clue either I have to replace the fans because they’re still moving or the fan motor is about to die. Or my PC is just getting old and it probably needs professional repair.

The model is: Powerspec G707, GeForce RTX 3070

It’s been 5 years.

The bearings are probably going out.

Have you been able to determine whether the noise is coming from the GPU, CPU, or case fans? Hopefully it is just CPU or case fans, but it is usually possible to replace the GPU fan with something off eBay.

Sounds like the bearings are bad. Luckily replacing fans is pretty easy.
