GF3 Ti2000 with jammed fan

[Denis54]

I have a GF3 Ti2000. I am happy with it and do not plan to replace it soon. Yesterday night, I noticed that the fan is jammed and the card is running very hot.

Is it possible to buy a replacement fan? Where? How much?

If it is dust try blowing it off with some compressed air. Try spinning the fan and see if it revives. If those don't work you might be looking at a 3rd Party cooling solution from someone like Thermalright or Thermaltake.

Heard those GF3 Ti2000 cards were pretty scarce...

It's GeForce 3 Ti200 which is why all the sarcastic comments 😉.

As for the HSF replacement - I'd strongly recommend you get the Thermaltake HSF - it's all copper, I think it comes with RAMsinks (which look pretty) and cools the GPU well for about $20.

Christ, I cant believe people find a simple mis-spelling so funny when a guy simply came on here asking for advice, that's about the lowest and most unfunny form of humour found even inside pre-school... isn't sarcasm to be intelligent humour? Or at least remotely funny? No? Oh well...

Anyway Denis my Ti200 fan, a cCrystal Orb, has done exactly the same and now the fan is super-hot to the touch. But, as i'm getting a 9800 PRO tommorrow I don't feel the need to replace it for some reason... can't think why... Get yourself a new fan if it turns out to be broken, they're only cheap and yours may have reached the end of it's life-cycle.:beer:
