MSI RX480 4GB Replacement fans?

[DragonBytePC]

Alright so my ssd was having an issue so I put my pc on its side and booted her up, at the start of booting up the cards fans spin fast for a couple seconds, and the power connector has a 6 pin and a 8 pin and the 6pin ended up getting caught in the cards fan and ended up taking out 2 of the cards blades on one fan. I've searched eBay for fans or a while new cooler but no luck and I've also contacted MSI but my card was bought from overseas and its been over 30 days (it's been just over 2 months now) and they didn't help me at all because the card was purchased overseas.

Forgot to mention the card vibrates like crazy unless tuned down to 20% fan speed. It still vibrates a tiny bit but safe.

What is the model number of your card?
It vibrates because it is unbalanced with the missing blades.
Where did you purchase the card?

Too bad all video card manufacturers don't offer user-replaceable fans like XFX does.

Too bad this thread never gained traction. I can't understand why the industry makes it so hard to replace a fan on a graphics card. I just purchased an MSI RX 480 4gb Gaming X one of the fans became obstructed for weeks by a wire. When I discovered this I simply removed the obstruction and the fan started turning again but it visibly looks as if it is not turning at the same speed as its twin.

All I want to do in life is just be able to say "Hey, I'll just get online and order a new one." Not that simple. It is easy as hell to disassemble the card and put a new fan on it. Why is it not just as easy to find the goddarn fan to do this? It is just a dopey little piece of plastic hardware that I should be able to find (non-used) within three clicks of a mouse!

Still nobody found a solution?

As far as I know, only XFX and Sapphire with their new Nitros have replaceable fans.

I have the same problem, two broken fan blades on an Asus strix RX 480.

I haven’t ordered one yet but there are dozens of fans that come up for a search for them on Ali Express.

Sapphire's RX-580 Nitro also has replaceable fans. I have that card.

You can only replace the GPU fan if the card was designed with replaceable fans.
