It always takes me a good year to upgrade any OS X. Because I learned the hard way not to rush it, especially around games. And from what I hear around, El Capitan doesn't get along very well with a few games. And on a personal note, I have a bad feeling about that OS, don't know why. A feeling, as a 25 years Mac owner. Hybrid power trains use diesel-electric or turbo-electric to power railway locomotives, buses, heavy goods vehicles, mobile hydraulic machinery, and ships.A diesel/turbine engine drives an electric generator or hydraulic pump, which powers electric/hydraulic motors - strictly an electric/hydraulic transmission (not a hybrid), unless it can accept power from outside.

‘GPU Fan Loud’ during gaming or at startup is one of the most common problems faced by many graphics card users. Well, generally fans do make some amount of noise, and also the noise varies from one card to another depending on the blade design, bearing, and motor used for the fan. Top models of mid-range to high-end graphics cards generally use high-quality fans with unique blade design, silent motor, and hydraulic bearing that make the fans very silent in operation. Moreover, the fan speed is also one of the factors that contribute to the level of fan noise. Graphics cards with higher RPM fans and aggressive fan curves do produce more noise compared to others.

So, it is quite evident that you may get some amount of noise from your graphics card, and the noise increases with the GPU load especially during gaming. However, if the noise from the fan is quite audible and not normal then you do have some issues with the fans that need to be taken care of. The problems related to higher or annoyingly loud fan noise are mostly due to a hardware fault but it can sometimes be software related too. So, to help you identify and fix the loud GPU fan noise, here I am going to explain the various causes for it and provide you the solutions to fix it.

Cause & Solutions for GPU Fan Loud Problem

Here are the common causes with their solutions for the loud graphics card fans problem.

Obstruction by Cable

The first thing to check is whether any cable is rubbing against the fan blades. It is one of the most common problems for loud fan noise in graphics cards, and it is also the easiest to fix. The obstruction to the fan blades can be caused by the PSU cables, case fan cable, power/reset button cable, or any other I/O cables. So, if you see any cable that is in contact with the fan blades then remove it from there and reroute it in such a way that it does not come in contact with fan blades again. A PC with good cable management will not face such issues but if your cable management is not proper or you have skipped it entirely then such problems are very common.

Dust Build Up

Dust Build Up is another common factor that can lead to noisy GPU fans. Dust can get inside the fan parts or the hub area and lead to increased friction, resulting in higher fan noise. Dust can also partially jam the fan bearing and this can lead to lower fan speed and extra noise. To remove the dust, you can use an electric air duster, air blower, or Compressed Air CAN blow the dust away. However, it is a bit difficult to remove the dust that gets inside the fan parts and bearing, using an air blower or compressed air can. So, to remove the inside dust you have to take the fan apart and then use a small brush to remove it. Moreover, you can also lubricate the fan shaft by putting in a small quantity of light machine oil. Do not ever use WD-40 or similar products as they are not lubricants and do not function as oil.

Warning – Taking the fan apart may result in damage to the fan components. So, if you are not confident about the disassembly process then do not attempt it and just clean the fan and its parts from outside.

Worn Out or Jammed Bearings

Worn-out fan bearings are one of the leading causes that lead to GPU fan noise. It generally happens with older graphics cards but sometimes fan bearing can prematurely wear out too because of a bad batch of fans from the factory. Noise from the worn-out fan bearings is pretty irritating and you can mitigate this issue by lubricating the fan shaft by dropping a little quantity of very light machine oil. To fix this issue permanently, you have to replace the graphics card fans with the newer ones. Below is a detailed guide on how to replace and find graphics card fans for your specific graphics card model.

Aggressive Fan Curve

Some graphics cards may come with an aggressive fan curve that causes fans to spin at much higher speeds than needed. So, if your graphics card fan curve is too aggressive then you can set a custom fan curve using MSI Afterburner software. However, the main thing that you should keep in mind that the custom fan curve you set should not result in overheating of the GPU. In some cases, you may have to update the GPU BIOS if the custom fan curve is working properly.

Damaged Fan Blades

If your fan blades get damaged somehow then it may result in fan noise. So, make sure that the fan blades are not broken and they do not have any cracks or any other damage present on them.

Normal for Some Models

It is common for some graphics card models to be loud because of the noisy fans used on them or the fans are not of good quality. Graphics cards with blower fan tend to be very loud because blower fan produces more noise because of their design and it also spins at a higher speed.

Fan or Shroud Vibrations

If the fans on a graphics card are a little loose then it can result in additional noise due to vibrations. So, make sure that the fans are tightly held by screws and also the shroud does not have any vibrations. In such cases, you may hear a rattling sound from the fans.

Could be Coil Whine

Don’t confuse the fan noise with GPU coil whine, which is a high-pitched sound that arises because of the vibrations in the inductors when the GPU load is quite high.

Faulty Fan

If the fan has some technical fault that cannot be eliminated then you can replace the faulty fan or get the card replaced if it is under warranty period. The RMA process is generally hassle-free but it does take some time.

Replace the Cooler

Replacing the entire cooler is not the most feasible solution but there are some good aftermarket GPU coolers available that offer very good performance in both the thermal and acoustic departments.

GPU Fan Loud at Startup

If the GPU Fan is loud only at the startup then you do not have to worry about it because, in some graphics cards, fans spin at full speed during startup or POST as a safety check mechanism. After few seconds, the fan speed gets back to normal following the fan curve set by the manufacturer.

These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.

What you need to create a bootable installer

A USB flash drive or other secondary volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, with at least 14GB of available storage
A downloaded installer for macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, or El Capitan

Download macOS

Download: macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, or macOS High Sierra
These download to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS [version name]. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server.
Download: OS X El Capitan
This downloads as a disk image named InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.

Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal

Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.
Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace MyVolume in these commands with the name of your volume.

Big Sur:*

Catalina:*

Mojave:*

High Sierra:*

El Capitan:

* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the --applicationpath argument and installer path, similar to the way this is done in the command for El Capitan.

After typing the command:

Press Return to enter the command.
When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
When prompted, type Y to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the volume is erased.
After the volume is erased, you may see an alert that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume. Click OK to allow the copy to proceed.
When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Big Sur. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.

Use the bootable installer

Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:

Apple silicon

Plug the bootable installer into a Mac that is connected to the internet and compatible with the version of macOS you're installing.
Turn on your Mac and continue to hold the power button until you see the startup options window, which shows your bootable volumes.
Select the volume containing the bootable installer, then click Continue.
When the macOS installer opens, follow the onscreen instructions.
