Hey all, I want to replace the fans for something better, any amazon links?

Here's the fan in there now
Link to fans image

Zotac official part

Apistek GA81S2U PFTP

DC 12v
0.38A


While the link I provided for the fan is the same model etc, the ones I got on my Zotac GTX970 are black, not the orange.

These are PFTP


I'll buy these from ali if I have to, but if anyone sees something I can use from amazon prime, that would be preferable, I couldn't find one.

I have these cards running sli so I'd need 4 fans total.

Thanks in advance
 
1| Your links do not work. Please verify that they are in order.
2| Which SKU/variant of the GTX970 from Zotac do you? Since the links aren't working it's hard to locate them with only looking for orange fan blades. I di come across this via Google search though of the fan's model number.
3| It's best you contact Zotac regarding your fans replacement since they would be sole distributors outside of third party no name manufacturers in China that may or may not be a good idea depending on what your GPU's current condition is in. Might I ask what's wrong with your current fans since you're asking for a replacement(looking for something better)?

If you're looking to drop temps, you're first option is to change out the TIM used on your GPU chip, then tackle any airflow problems in your chassis and lastly see if the chassis itself is posing the issue. Mind you the route to modify your GPU with either TIM or fans will void your warranty so please move forward accordingly. Would be worth contacting Zotac and see how they feel about it though.
