GForce 3 Ti 500 - Help please!

[Robocat]

I have the above card which has proven to be superb up to now.
Reason being the fan has seized solid and I cannot find anyone who sells replacement fans.(If anyone knows where I can buy in the UK I would be very grateful).

If cannot get fan looks like a new card is needed.

What card would you recommend to replace, I unfortunately cannot afford the top of the range new Nvidia's as at the moment money is tight.

I would like a card that at least performs as well if not better than the Ti 500 (which in it's day was the best you could get) but am not sure which model to buy.

Any help greatly appreciated.

you can replace the whole heatsink-fan assembly with any number of solutions avavable everywhere, or you can just take the old fan off and epoxy a normal fan on top of the heatsink. either way should do you fine.

A Ti500 is still a decent card.
The Titan-TTC-CUV2AB fits on all GF3s.
A Vantec Iceberq 4 might fit, too.
You can surely get a heatsink+fan in the UK, too.

Some possible solutions
