After Market H&F for a 7600GS

[lancer]

The fan on my 7600GS at work is about to fail, i don't have the time to RMA the thing, so i just want to replace the fan, but i cant' seem to find any compatible fans.

Can someone please suggest one, it doesn't need to be anything fancy as all this GPU does is work as a display card, no gaming nothing.

I need to order it this morning, so i would be grateful for replies.

arctic cooling vga silencer is the best if you can find the one to fit.

See what these guys have. Measure size, thickness, count blades, look at mounting feet. I beleive they big number 50mm etc is the sapcing on the mounting holes, at least that used to be the way they spec'd them.

You did not say what make/model card it is.

The Zalman VF700 and VF900 should work, according to their site:

Both very highly rated on Newegg too.

I meant like eVGA, XFX, whetehr it's OC'd (bigger/faster fans)., etc.

All of that changes the HSF replacement that will work on a given board.

sorry, its an EVGA, with just the stock fan.

Check out Zalman's website. Appears that they make several that are compatible with the 7600 cards. Here's a link to one: http://www.zalman.co.kr/usa/product/view.asp?idx=192&code=013


Edit: Here's a link to that cooler at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118001
