my GPU's fan has been very noisy the past few days. when previously it was basically silent.

It sounds kinda like its grinding.

what should I do?

@lizardsquid clean it. If this doesn't solve (it probably won't), replace the fan before anything fries.

@lizardsquid
If you can access the fan you might be able to clean it as others have said.

There's a non-zero chance its bearings are going, in which case its not fucked but will be mildly inconveniently loud forever.
