Replacing the fan on the ASUS Phoenix RTX 3060 V2 GPU is an easy job, so don't wait until your fan finally seizes up and possibly damages your card.

Replacement fans are about $15USD/25CAD through retailers on eBay, Amazon and Newegg. It would cost me over $100 to RMA this, so decided to do the job myself. How did it turn out? Fantastic. Better than the original, at least in my case.

Edit: This was the fan I bought - RAKSTORE T129215BU 95mm Graphics Card Cooling Fan Replacement for ASUS RTX 3050 RTX 3060 Phoenix Quiet Cooler Fan https://a.co/d/htn5OGp

If you've never done this kind of thing before, I put this together to hopefully show how easy it is. 4 screws on the shroud, and 4 screws on the fan. That's all there is to it.

Apologies for the low quality recording. My old camera burnt out and wasn't worth fixing, so this was recorded using an iPad mini perched ontop of my CRT monitor. It did the job well enough, I guess.

I recommend using Handbrake https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php to convert .MOV to .MP4
and if you need to convert still images, download GIMP and use Export https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
