    It’s shaking with excitement, hoping you’ll eat it

    You can try pushing down on the center (or rather, up in this orientation.)

  3. It is not. However, they are very easily replaced if needed.

    Wobble baby. Wobble baby. Wobble baby. 🎶

    Whatever you do, don’t contact Asus, they’ll probably charge you $1200 to ‘fix’ it.

  6. ssddsquare

    You should warranty it or replace it with casing fans.

  7. Robot1me

    Out of curiosity, does this happen on all fan speeds or does it vary?

  8. ManNamedSalmon

    It’s so that it catches the heatsink from more angles. Advanced engineering.

    Just call customer service, asus are greaaat!

  10. God people are so fucking unfunny. It’s because the fan itself is starting to lose its adhesive or connection to the shaft above the fan.

  11. It should balance out when spinning, if it’s unbalanced like that it’s going to wear out significantly quicker.

    Super easy to replace. Bearings are probably gone inside or something.

  13. Dan_Glebitz

    Nope. In fact it is putting undue stress on the bearings and rapidly shortening it’s lifespan.

    No that’s not ideal and you should keep an eye on it because it may just fall off someday probably should get it fixed

  15. i had this on my GPU. i eventually replaced it myself. I went to ebay to get a replacement fan.

    No, that’s why I RMA’d my 1660 Super Asus Dual. It lasted a year before it shit itself. Asus quality apparently.

    You would need to check the manual to be sure, but in general, wobble is bad for fans

  18. GothamKnight311

    Do you really need people to confirm that this is not normal?

  19. gregariouspangolin

    Noooooo…. nnnooootttt reaalllllllly

  20. immrholiday

    Should it? No, but it’s not really harmful… it is wear on the bearing and can/should be replaced when you have the time.

  21. Biscuits4u2

    Nah not really but if it’s not causing any issues I wouldn’t even worry about it.

  22. ZinGaming1

    Its balancing. But no, its not supposed to do that wiggly stuff.

  23. Need a fan alignment, take it to Les schwab

    My 1080ti fans did this and then died, plan accordingly

    Edit

    The fans died but the card is still kicking like a beast
