Hi peeps,
so I got this Radeon RX 580 8 GB for my 2010 Mac Pro and I noticed that from time to time, it would make some squeaking noises. I think it might be the fans.
My instinct wants to oil it … because it really sounds like something that needs to be oiled.
Does anyone know what it could be? Is oiling anything a realistic approach?
The previous owner told me oiling it isn't a good idea, it won't reach the bearing.
He told me it might be heat expansion in case it comes up after a while. Otherwise maybe the RPM, and that I could maybe set them differently.
That seems strange to me … what do you think? He sold me the card and did a software test before that said that everything was fine, I have a screenshot of it.
