Can I run a CL TNT2 Ultra w/o the fan?

[kronos2000]

I have a Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra with a bad fan. It isn't being overclocked or anything like that. Can it be run without the fan running? If not anybody know where I can get a replacement fan? I don't want to spend more than like $10 on it.

Shouldn't cost you more than $5-6 for a cheap case fan (if you don't already have a spare one laying around). Works best if you unscrew the old fan off, of course. Should you need to send the card back for warrantee, simply screw the old fan back on.
