Geforce 6800 Fan problem

**Techguy04** · September 1st, 2004, 01:56 PM

I have the card with the duel fan and the right fan got jammed, and I tried to mess with it, and made it worse!!

Is their any place online that sells the cooler for this?

Thanks a lot!!

(If not I guess I can go back to try to fix it!)

Also if their is not an "exact" replacement, any other fans that could replace it? I dont want to burn this out already!!

THX!

Thanks for the welcome

Well I moved my computer and part of the fan got stuck so I tried to fix it, and messed it up bad! - Its the right side - but still worried with one fan going it will burn out!

The brand is Gainward.

WOW SWEET

Just contact the store where you bought it from, they have at least a 1 year warranty so you should have no problem getting the card working and being able to keep the awsome fan that the Gainward cards have

Heres one that I found on Newegg.

Out of stock at the moment though =/ Maybe keep an eye on it there or could try another store online.

Where the heck did you buy the card from!?

I could probably list a few coolers that MIGHT fit, but its gonna be true hell replacing the cooler!

I bought it at newegg.com

I don't think anyone would replace that. You void the warranty by messing with it. However, you could just say it was like that when you got it

Thats a little low though!

yea, just tell them that you got it like that or the fan just stopped, don't tell them WHY it stopped just RMA it (should be like 15 bucks) a new cooler would be 40+void warranty+a chance of destroying the card!

Yes I have voided my warrenty -

CRS6785 - will that fan replace the card I got? Heres what I have Geforce 6800 ( Ultra/2100 TV-DVI

have u asked?

u did say that the fan messed up on its own.

explain that to the vendor. and ask for a replacement.

nwo is right finding a suitable cooler will probably not be difficult..........replacing the original might be very problematical.........with a very real chance of much more serious damage being caused to the card.
