Where to buy ATI Radeon 9800 Pro compliant fan?

[ElNiNoSt0rM]

Hey everyone,

I'm simply looking for a stock fan for the ATI 9800 Pro video card. I incorrectly screwed it on when performing basic maintenance before, and I paid the price naturally. The entire fan itself sheared off from the base of the fan presumably from the intense heat. Anyway, if anyone has one available or at least knows where I can purchase it, let me know. Furthermore, it does not have to be the fan that is included with the card itself, just ANY fan that will adequately fit. I thought any normal 40mm fan would work, but the prongs on the 9800 pro fan are elevated and flat to prevent the square design to seat nicely on the heatsink. Any help/suggestions/offers would be appreciated. Thanks alot.

EDIT: Also, I'm trying to veer away from those cooler products. Although they seem more efficient and ultimately a better investment, I'm on a budget, so a stock fan or something comparable to the basic model would be preferred

I was going to suggust an aftermarket cooler, as it would probibly be the easiest to get your hands on. Maybe make a WTB post in the FS/FT forum. Someone may have a stock one they dont need after an upgrade to aftermarket HSF..

I'm sure you could pick up an VGA Silencer on the FS/FT forum for cheap - do some searches.

you can get ATI silencers here in the UK for ~£15 delivered, it'll be silent even at 100% and provide more than enough cooling for the card, it'll also cool your case too, well worth the investment. i have one on my massively OC'ed x800GTO and my mum's 9250 🙂
