Hi Guy,
The fan on my XFX Radeon HD 9650 2gb has broken. This was my own mistake after touching the fan while moving a couple of the blades came off! It still runs but vibrates a lot!
Does anyone know where I can find a replacement, I sent a message to XFX support saying it had stopped spinning and they said you can RMA it but it will take up to 3 weeks. Also not sure if breaking the fan will be under warranty? (I probably shouldn't have said it had just "stopped working") Plus I don't want to be without my pc for 3 weeks!
I found another thread on here listing the same problem, and a picture of the fan : http://imgur.com/yFGpCoj. The fan is exactly the same make and model as my card.
However on this fan the holes are far to wide for the screws to fit in on my model. The gaps between the screws are around 10mm apart on my card. This is the same issues with a lot of GPU fans I have been looking at!
Does anyone have any experience with finding a replacement or modding a fan in the the card?
Any other ideas and comments would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks!
