Where to buy a replacement GPU fan? 45x45mm

[MajinCry]

Hey there, got a question.

Need a replacement fan for my 8600gt, and my usual tech sites (Aria, Scan, Dabs, Ebuyer, Novatech, cclonline) don't have any GPU fans for sale.

Specs that I measured are roughly 45x45x15mm, or 45x45x20mm depending on where the base measurement is taken; from just the fan, or including the fan and the plastic-triangle-thingy respectively.

Found a picture of a fan with the exact same design minus the two stickers that mine has.

^The one on the bottom left.

Ebay has a few for sale, but they're £6. Seems like an awful lot to pay for a tiny piece of plastic. Especially when case fans cost a quid.


Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry but £6 is about the going price for a GPU fan. if you think about it, they aren't anything inferior to a case fan, all they are is that they're smaller (less plastic). you actually tend to see better build quality in these small fans than your big 120mm case fans. any nice case-fan with a ball bearing case fan would cost that much as well

what the sticker tel you for that fan .

@scout_03, On the top of the fan (The side you see when it's attached to the GPU), the sticker says "Xi" in big letters. Below that, it says "XpertVision".

On the underside of the fan, the sticker says, from top to bottom:

T&T
7382
7015M12F ND1

@vmem £6 for a GPU fan...Egh. It still seems so overpriced :s

this is the full specs of your fan size and even space between the screw holes http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.1.5o8rvH&id=16949593020 and here is a seller for it http://www.aliexpress.com/item/T-T-7015M12B-ND1-65mm-Graphics-Card-VGA-Cooler-Fan-Replacement-12V-0-25A-2Wire/601822404.html ,but if you could i suggest you to get a new graphic card .

The reason for wanting a new fan is so I don't have to splurge on a new gpu; building a box from all my old parts lying about, and going to sell it for some dosh.

Thanks by the way! Actually just found a cheap heatsink + fan going for £3 on ebay. Probably going to nab that.

Scout_03, what was the google-fu that you used to find those links? I'd much like to learn from you.
