GPU Fan

Duffman

I have on oldskool Geforce 256 with a broken fan. The GPU gives off a ridiculous amount of heat. Can't seem to find a replacement fan anywhere.

Is there any way I can fix this very very cheaply? Do I need a similar fan that sits against the heatsink or will simply blowing air on it be enough? It seems to have very few fins.

The card may be a relic but it works, don't want to buy a new one if I can fix the fan easily.

Any help would be fan-tastic (sorry)

Cleaning out the dust regulary would be a start becasue i think thats what broke your old one. I doubt you could get a replacement due to the odd sise of the heatsink/fan fan but would you be able to afford the cheapest card out there? It wouldnt cost that much more that the fan

Hi,

I had a Geforce ti4200 and replaced the fan on it due to insuffient cooling. You can pick replacement GPU fan's handy enough from maplin electronics which are located on jervis st.

I'll have a look in Maplin, thanks.

For the moment I've just stuck a PSU fan against the card blowing air onto the sink, seems to be cooling it very well.
