Question fan replacement for a chip damaged gtx 760

[bedouinbro]

using a 11 year old gtx 760 fans stopped working few months ago, opened it and got this chip kind of chipped off, dont know how it happened it btw, since the fans arent working the temp is always above 100 when watching movies. should i open it again and spend 10$ on a replacement fan ? any idea how long it will last in this 100+ temperatures ? and on a sca;le of 10 how badly damged is the gpu

I would retire the GPU.

any idea how long it will last in this 100+ temperatures ?
Those are well beyond thermal throttling temps. If the GPU was alive, you were merely cooking the GPU to death.

I would retire your GPU before it makes anymore damage and having GPU at 100% and really high temps with no fan surpriced chip and such are not melted yet. Would really stop using the GPU or trying to find ways of fixing it.

Almost a year ago you have been into this broken fan repair.

GTX 760 is not expensive to replace.

GTX 950 on ebay go for $30-40

GTX 1050 $50-80

GTX 1650 bounce around between $50 and $100, new ones are about $150 at the low end.

If you are just doing video playback, you could pick up a new GT1030 for about $90, or an Intel A310 for $100 (very modern, so double check if your system is compatible.)

Looks like I posted on the previous one as well. A little more detail this time.

i would if not for the money problem and not to mention i would need add a new psu also, i doubt my current vs450 would work at 100% load which usually happens when watching movies etc

edit- i found some fans

when i opened and cleaned and repasted thermal paste i didnt took any pictures of the fan model so now i dont really know which model the card is using, since opening the card seems very risky to me now as there is no working fan available and theres already some damge in the chip. any ideas if the fan model matters that much ? since both are usual 4 pin fans

i guess because its been winter season where im living for the last few months so the ambient temp is kinda low, this helps i think from crashing

Not clear to me why a VS450 couldn't run those cards. They are all quite light and in most cases way less power draw than the current GTX 760.

You can spend like $15 on replacement fans, or $30 on a replacement GPU?

From the pictures it looks like an MSI card? If so :

Same advice as last time. Basically just enter the name of the card plus replacement fans and you will find many offerings from various online market places.

You can also just strap a pair of 120mm case fans to the card. As long as the heatsink is making good contact that should be more than enough cooling.

opened the fans and got the model numbers

is there any difference between these two models

https://www.amazon.com/PLD10010S12H...hh+,industrial,535&sr=1-29&xpid=LiEN9I2m6w4Wz

seems identical and the seller also mentions its compatible with gtx 760 tf , only the difference is model numbers
PLD10010B12HH
PLD10010S12HH
what do you think buying from a seller that have no ratings ?

Do you feel lucky?

Should work fine right until it tries to use a part that's missing.

A working GTX 760 is under $30 shipped on eBay but for that price it's better to upgrade to a GTX 950 which can output 4k @ 60Hz, gives true DX12 feature level 12_1, and still has XP drivers.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

An RX570 even is $40 or so and would run circles around that for similar power consumption. A 560 is still at least as fast and far more power efficient, plus costs about the same as replacement fans at this point.

You don't want a 760 anymore, it's completely out of driver support and very likely may not work with that damage. No use spending money to fix that GPU when it may not work, and even when working isn't worth repair.

 

[LuKaWin10]

Get a GTX 970, but only if you upgrade your PSU to a 650W or 750W one. But to keep it more budgety-ish, get one of these:

GTX 950, or 960
1050 Ti
750 Ti
GT 1030, or GT 730

These are good cards, and others suggested them too
