Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my thread!

So I broke some blades ou of my gpu fan and im thinking of using a comon fan that is slightly smaller and using it to replace my broken one

My gpu

The fans I really need

The Fan Im planing to use

It has a 3pin connecter, the one on my gpu I hope!


Im planing to cup the outside part of the fan and using just the fan and make a plastic mold without compromising the gpu or the fan and elevate it a little bit and securing it all with a silicone based glue, then connecting the fan to my gpu and hopefully it will run like a normal fan!

Or I could use it like this

Im trying to save some money because I also really need a cooler for my cpu!


Thank you for your time
 
Solution
it looks about the same size (the blades / rotor part) so might work. you wouldn't use the new 3 pin but the old 4 pin, the middle part of the old fan stays the same you'd replace just the blades part
