I have a GF3 with a dying fan that was making a lot of noise. So I pulled the hs/fan off of the GPU and now I'm looking at getting a thermaltake crystal orb.. just dont need the GF3 back in action immediately so havent ordered it yet.

If your GF3 is a "Ti" version, for five bucks more you can get a cooler and quieter Arctic VGA Silencer Rev 3.

Ya and they used to make one of those for non-TI versions, but I cant find one.

I just need a basic fan =)

which size should I get? I don't have the card in front of me so i can't estimate. it's a "normal" gf3

I've installed a Crystal Orb on my old GF3 non-Ti. The only thing I have to say is that the fan dies relatively quick. I'd say it lasted about a year, 15 months tops while running 24/7. I'm on my second Crystal Orb now.

Get a Crystal Orb..geesh..I have one sitting my drawer..it's yours if you want it. My roomate said it was making a weird noise when I put it on his 9500. But I think he was smoking crack. ANyway..that's an option...."free" for the taking.

Crystal orb is the way to go.. just get one damnit!

80mm will be a bit big.....seriously just buy a replacement cooler from thermaltake or vantec or something

If I had to guess, I'd say it was 30-40mm.
