Looking for a replacement fan setup for a 560ti

[Markfw]

So the card looks something like this:

But both fans are dead. Do you think the below will work ? or a better idea ?

Has it passed its warranty period? If it hasn't, it would be better to send it back for RMA. The replacement fans that you've listed will work but it has a standard 3 pin fan header, which is larger than the fan headers typically used on a GPU.

This pose a problem as the GPU can no longer regulate its fan speed according to GPU load. You're left with the option of it being managed according to CPU temps (motherboard header) or run it at its loud 3.5kRPM speed from a molex.

If the problems mentioned in the second paragraph doesn't matter to you, the same or better(quieter fans) effect can be achieved by strapping 80mm/92mm fans with cable ties and some foam padding in between the fans and the heatsink.

A more complicated approach is to replace the fan entirely by purchasing 92mm slim fans and clipping them off from their original frame, leaving only the fan and its central hub. You then epoxy the hub to GPU's fan support frame and splice the cables with the smaller GPU fan header.

Well, in my config, I can't put big fans in the middle. Then the slim fans (only available that I can find) don't match the screw patterns. I run fans at 100% anyway, since they are folding (hence the burned out fans in 3 yeas). So this looked the best for me.

I used the fan in the frozen link though not as intended. it wouldn't stay on the gpu shroud which I preferred to keep, beveled edges and such. so I dismanted it and screwed just the 10 x 80 fan to the shroud. surprisingly good fan, imo.

Then the slim fans (only available that I can find) don't match the screw patterns.

They don't have to match because we're removing(cutting off) the entire fan's outer casing, leaving only the fan blades and its center hub. The center hub is then affixed to the heatshroud's original fan sub frame with very strong double sided tape or epoxy. Assuming that you're using slim 80mm/92mm fans, the blades should just barely exceed the original thickness of the DirectCU II heatshroud.

If you're not interested in making it look and perform as close as the original, or just prefer an easier option, then I suppose the Evercool would do just fine.
