Can I buy a fan cooler for my low profile GT710

[birbwithcomputerparts]

So I have a Low Profile MSI GT 710 2GB (https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT-710-2GD3H-LP/dp/B01AZHOX5K) and It only has a heatsink and gets awfully hot. MSI afterburner said it gets to 63°C which REALLY worries me. Is there a way I can get only the fan for it? I know there is a fanned version (https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT-710-2GD3H-LP/dp/B01DOFD0G8?th=1) but I can't find where to get only the heatsink and fan. Or if it is even possible to get only the fan and heat sink.

Max GPU temp on a GT 710 is 95C, so 63C is nothing to worry about. If anything you could just add a case fan. But it's really not necessary.

does you gpu have the 2 fans pins same as the other one .

You have 25-30c more to go before you need to worry

It'd probably be better in the long run to get a case fan and position it in your case in such a way that it cools your 710, haha I can't believe anyone worries about cooling a 710.

The thing about videocards is you're expected to think about this BEFORE you buy the card. Fanless cards are excellent for use where quiet operation is a priority. They do tend to run warmer, although you're expected to not use them in demanding tasks because they have no fan. In this way, heat is not an issue.

If you need your videocard to work hard from time to time, that's when you get one with a fan.

I have the MSI version GT 710 2GD3 LP with the little fan in the heatsink. I run it in an FX-6300 with a CM Hyper T2 with 16GB on the M51BC version of the M5A97 EVO2 MoBo. Opposite of a gaming case, not great airflow, but an overhead PSU I swapped with an EVGA 450BT. it has a 4" 2K RPM fan exhaust fan near the CPU with the T2 cooler pullig air up from the GPU, over the CPU and into the PSU out the back. I have a 3" 4K RPm fan pulling air from the vent in the case side. My GT 710 used to run 60-65C and now if I underclock and slightly undervolt the FX CPU, I can run the GPU at 1250MHz with the RAM +200MHz in afterburner, It stays around 55C. This allows me to play Astroneer at 30-35 FPS on low settings @ 1360 X 768. I can play Just Cause 3 almost at 30 FPS if I set everything to low, kill Vsynch and drp the resolution to basically playstation 1 quality, but it works. Anything more intense than that either heats the card over 60C, which is technically OK, or it lags and makes games unplayable.

At the end of the day, the GT 710 is just barely enough for me, but I sure wish I had taken that $50 and saved another $30-50 for something with better than 2GB DDR3. It's just a small price difference for a huge boost in performance for light games. It seriously looks like playstation 1 graphics, but it is smooth for it. So get a case fan or a PCI slot fan if you're really worried, but anything under 90C is fine as long as it's not running over 85C for hours on end (though I can't remember where I got the 85C from, it's been a while, verify please?).

I will say if you can afford to replace it just in case, GT 710 is great practice for redoing your thermal paste, which may also help you out a lot, though I only lost about 2C average when I did mine.
