Where to Get Video Card Fans (GeForce DDR)

[BDawg]

I have the Creative version of the GeForce DDR. Lately, the fan has been coming unbalanced and wobbly.

I've taken the fan off and cleaned it, but that didn't change anything.

Where can I get replacement fans? I don't really want to send it to Creative since that means I'll be w/o a card for a few weeks. ;_;

DO a search on pricewatch.com for a Blue Orb. It is a chipset/videocard cooler.

Would I have to take the heatsink off too? Is it hard to do?

Yeah, you'd have to take the heatsink off in order to install the BlueOrb (which is great cooler, by the way). It's fairly easy to do, you can go here for instructions if you want, but you will be voiding out the warrantee. If that's a concern, I'd recommend leaving the original heatsink on and simply mounting a case fan up against it ala "cardcooler". Go to the same site and skip a couple of pages to the section called The BIG Fan and you'll see what I mean. You probably already have all the necessary parts.
