replacement fan for hercules 9800 pro?

[bitt3n]

The fan on my hercules 9800 pro is starting to make some noise. I tried blowing the dust off it with some canned air but it didn't help. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on an aftermarket fan to put on it (assuming no one has any more ideas on fixing the one on there already), and how hard adding a new fan to this card will be. Thanks for your help!

go to 1coolpc.com even though they have a crappy website, the people that work there are the nicest, most dedicated people in the world. when i had a problem with their power supplies, and describing that i needed it asap, they paid for expidiated shipping and RMA'd it in less than a business week.

so you recommend getting it off svc.com (that's what came up in google when I search fore "Save $5 etc.")? Is there a specific model that is better or any one that fits the card is OK? thanks.

(also I emailed the people at 1coolpc.com for advice, thanks for your help mwmorph)

seems the Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer Rev. 3($21.99) is the only artic silencer for ati cards at http://svc.com/cardcooler.html. the other artic cooling silencers are for NV boards only or different models of ati chipsor out of stock.(you could spring 8 bucks more and buy the Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer 3 probably though im not sure if 9800xt has same mounting holes as pro)

You can buy the ATI Silencer 1 which will also fit your card, but the Rev 3 performs as good and its cheaper. Plus the Silencer 1 is out of stock. You could find it here too if you must have that model.

Here's a review of them all.
