GPU fan seized

Post by Ark »

Sup people. The fan on my Sapphire Radeon X1600XT stopped last night during a game of Oblivion. Luckily the card is undamaged, but I can't leave it running without a fan to cool it down.

Does anybody know where I can get a new fan for it, or if there is an alternative way to cool it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

Remove that front cover of the stock cooler and slap a 80mm fan right there, ghetto FTW!:)

OMG, my friend's card has exactly the same problem! And he has EXACTLY the same card!

Looks like I'll never buy Sapphire again.

When I read the title, I thought the cops came and took your fan or something.
