How big a pain is it to put new fans in a 2070 (I have the EVGA OC version). It works fine, but one (or both) fans are making noise even at 30-ish %. It's not a smooth noise, rather it sounds like a slight vibration or rubbing. The card itself is pretty old, so guessing maybe it's a bearing issue.
The other option is to just play with the fan curve. I originally had them running at a minimum of 30 when the card is idle, but that's when the sound was noticeable. I dropped them down to 20, and have them ramp up at higher temps, which sound good for now.
