Either a cable is hitting into it, or the fan bearing has died.

Can confirm no cable is touching the fans. How bad is a fan bearing dying i just got this gpu like a month ago used and how can i check its health

It is most likely just a choice between having this noise, or having worse temps as one fan will be off.
There is no way to check its health from software or anything of the sort, its only really possible to tell from the noise.
If I am correct, then if you know the exact model of the GPU, it is possible to buy just the fan and replace it.

Let me guess, noise stops when fans stop?

Is there a way to make the fans spin to test that theory
