Ok, I was dusting my computer by using an air compressor at low psi and the next thing I know I've broken 4 fins off the fan on my Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra. I know an ultra isn't the best thing on the market right now but I still need to repair it. Does anyone have a spare fan they might have taken off thier's when they replaced it with a 3rd party hs/f or does anyone know which hs/f I can buy to replace it? Like a Blue Orb or whatever? It doesn't specifically say it works with the Tnt2 so this is why I'm asking. Thank you for all your help.

A blue max should work, but heres an idea. If you have any old fan/heatsinks from socket 370 era just laying around, the fan on most of them was fairly narrow. Its not an exact fit but with a little ingenuity and some epoxy or cable ties you should be able to attach it to the heatsink where your dead fan has been removed and it will give you another year or so until next time you have a few bucks and you can purchase another new video card.

A blue max? Where could I get that? Or do you mean Blue Orb? I went ahead and ordered one of those and figured I'll just replace the whole thing with one. Thanks for the help.
