Need replacement heatsink/fan for Visiontek Xtasy 6964 (GF3 Ti500)

[dude8604]

The fan on it is making a grinding noise and it sounds like it's going to break. Where can I get a cheap (under $5 preferrably) heatsink/fan combo for this card to replace it with. I ordered a fan for $3 but then realized that the heatsink on the old one is connected to the fan and it would be difficult to replace just the fan. Please let me know where to buy one. Thanks.

Check the case mod thread stickied at the top of this forum. Lots of suppliers for cooling equipment are listed. A hsf for a gf3 will prolly run 15 USD with shipping.

Do you have any idea what dimensions I should be looking for?

Normally HSF graphic card coolers will be labeled as such if theyre suitable, e.g. the thermaltake orbs (iirc they came out with GF3's in mind). I think theyre more or less standard size? anyway you can use thermal adhesive to attatch it if the plugs dont fit. Some people have all sorts of loony heatsinks stuck to their GF3's, I've even seen a thermalright SK6. I've got an old P200mmx HSF on mine
