Okay seems silly right? While I was re installing my stock HSF on the card I broke a single fan blade on it. It still runs fine, but Id like to fix this as it may become a problem later down the road. Im thinking if I could get one thats the right size, id simply superglue it into place.

So what size is the fan on the stock HSF? Havent looked at it since I replaced it a while ago, seems like it was bigger than 40MM. Any ideas where to get an exact replacement if possible? If not, how about recommending a HSF combo for a replacement? I seem to remember concerns of the spacer on the chipset causing some problems with HSF mounting.

I have a 40MM at my disposal, came off of a kyro II card. Has the proper 2 pin connector, but that ATI fan looked bigger than 40MM.

2CoolTek has a 9700 cooling kit and I believe he said the Crystal Orb fit exactly over the core. They have a bit of an article in the left control panel there.

yep, and the crystal orb will attach with pushpins so you don't ruin
a $350 video card w/ super glue.
