The moment I opened the NVIDIA Quadro K5000 from it's packaging I noticed it had a loose fan, the fan slides around the housing! I assume this is a defective unit?

yes, it sounds like a defective unit, it shouldn't slide as you've described it. good luck.

It was audible in my system.... enough so that I stopped using it. You can lower the fan speed all the way, but it was still audible, and of course it won't cool as well. When the fan is at max speed it cooled my nvidia card around 8 to 10 degrees C. Giving your video card a good cleaning will help a lot too.

No, your card is probably over heating, check its temp and see if dust has built up in the fan etc

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

I have this model. I used to play games on Facebook with it and the graphics "heavy" games would cause the fan to come on. I downloaded a donation ware app title Macs Fan Controller that monitors the fan speed and processor temperature and give you the option to have the fan come on at a lower temp thereby reducing the heating issue. I am on here looking for a replacement because I dropped the MacBook and cracked the case. (BTW: the Macs Fan Controller works on any intel mac processor)

Do not worry, sounds like you bought a psu to powerful for your system. The fan has zero spin technology only turns on when needed. If your worried about your system check temps if it's boots and powers in powersupply is working correctly

I can only say that it is a good fan, it would not fit myGeforce GP520 so I stuck it on the cooling fins. It works very well. It is a symetrical 3 screw one. and, as I recall, the measurement given is between the legs. Check your old one. That is the best I can do, sorry.

I have the Hello Kitty model and the same thing happened. For some reason the fan gets misaligned even though I have it on a flat surface and it hardly moves. I called Crane and if you are under warranty they will replace it. I think it may be a flaw in most of their humidifiers, I have gone through 3 of them already due to the same problem every time.

Hi, Michael. I can't tell, because my other 5 case fans hide it. I can tell you this: the overall noise of the whole system is pretty low. To illustrate this, I had to turn off the air conditioner to notice it. So, the card's fan contribution to noise must be next to nothing. I hope it's useful.

Make sure that there is a good airflow. I installed an extra fan in the side of my PC and so far its good. Cases with PSU on the bottom seem to have more issues with overheating if psu is blowing inside

Just bought mine today and turned it on 4 - experiencing a similar problem: Every several minutes the fan will decrease for a second and then go back to normal. It's almost like a power issue, but I don't notice lights dimming or anything else other than the fan noise for that second...

'course! I've not had that issue with this case buuuuuuuuuuuuut there's a few things we can do!Firstly, make sure all the power cables to the fans coming from the case are connected to MOLEX/4pin power connectors (or the relevant ones for the fan you are connecting) and if it's still not receiving power and spinning up either A) Send the case in for replacement or B) Try a replacement power cable to the fan.Not really much more help beyond that which can be offered I'm afraid!

I've never experienced it. Failures happen - RMA it. My main desktop has 8 of these fans in it with zero failures (on 24/7, for several months). Good luck with the replacement!

Mine wasn't at first but it sounds like something is coming loose inside or a bad bearing or something now. I also received an open box item that looked like it was a return. All the nut and bolt packages had been opened also. The monitor never worked either.

YES, If was able to post pics I would. It has heatsinks that go to the CPU and to the GPU and both are interconnected and each heatsink comes out to a fan for a total of two fans. After removing bottom cover it would be very easy to clean any dust out of the fans unlike my last ASUS (careful do not let fingers slide on bottom cover edge as pop it off after screws are out, I sliced the crap out of my finger, lol) I have removed the bottom cover with a T5 Torx bit to check a few things (will be taking the HD out for an SSD, adding another 8GB stick of RAM and mailing my keyboard out at some point for blue back-lighting to be added to the keyboard).

I think your fan may be defective. You should contact Ozeri customer support and they will be able to help you with the problem.
