need replacement fan for GF3

Well after years of having to clean the gunk out of this dust magnet, I want to replace the fan and heatsink on my trusty geforce3 (its the uber gainward one, if that matters). The ram has their own heat sinks so I just need a trusty brick or circular fan that will fit this old thing, any recomendations?
 
A while ago i sold my mate an old rig with a Gefore 3 ti200 card in it, with a big leadtek heatsink and small fan. The small fan became faulty so i bodged a fan on (the fan found on the stock AMD heatsink) and secured it with elastic bands. This worked very well.

As i am actually doing some work on it today i will take some pics of the bodged AMD stock fan and elastic band jobby, and then show you the Vantec iceberq 5 which i will be installing.

hmm .. i wonder which one will look better 😀
 
I put one of these on a GF3 a LONG time ago and was very happy with it. It was essentially silent and never gave me a single problem. This is the ticket if you want to replace the fan one time and you don't mind epoxying it to the chip. I sold mine a while ago with it in great working condition.
