GPU fan replacement

[razrtrade]

My GPU fan has stopped spinning randomly and is out of warranty it makes very loud noises and the RPM drops frequently with the temps rising up to 95 degrees in games, the card is fine in itself. I’ve been trying to find a perfect fan replacement to fit into the card but I’m having so much trouble trying to get the right one,

I have the zotac GTX 960 mini 2GB

The fan size is 86mm with 40mm mounting holes, if someone could help me it would be a life saver until I get my new pc thank you!

I have tried two different fans, but none of them worked as they were wrong size and wrong connector, the current broken fan does disassemble from the heatsink and it is able to be changed

remove the plastic shround, zip tie new fan(s) them onto the gpu heatsink, plug them into the motherboard.

@Snipergod87 the only problem with that being the 2 fans I bought don’t fit and have wrong connector and I can’t find another fan that is the right size and will connect into the 4 pin socket and one of the fans were constantly hitting off of the heatsink because of the wire protector

@mgallo848 it would be perfect but the mounting holes are different from mine I need mounting holes in a triangle shape 🙁 thank you for trying though the mounting holes distance is 40mm apart with 3 screws

Tour best best is to just go to Zotac's website and send them an email asking to buy that fan. They will most likely need the serial number off of the card or box

Yeah I’ll send an email and see what they can do maybe they’ll be able to just send out a single fan replacement hopefully I’ll pay extra if I have too lol just need this gpu to last me till I get my new pc
