What could cause a graphics card fan to stop working?
 
Dust?

My, temp sensor stopped working down there, a I went at it with a can of compressed air. Poof! Fine.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I've also revitalized case fans in the past with a good bit of dusting.

Ya, cleaning out the dust now. The fan is pretty hard to spin too.
 
The fan is dead, where can I buy a replacement fan for a 9800 pro?
 
Why, ask my good friend newegg! I'm sure he has an Arctic cooler he could "sell" you.

Newegg sucks for finding graphic card fans, I found a few overpriced things.

Why my good friend Newegg might not be able to provide you with a graphics card FAN. In fact, I don't know anyone who could provide you with a new gfx card FAN. But I know my good friend Newegg could provide you with an excellent graphics card HEATSINK, that has a fan on it. Such as the Arctic Cooler he has.

If it was me with the issue though, I would just buy a 60 and mod the hell out of it. :dork:

You need to get the Arctic Cooler VGA Silencer for it, its the best option for replacement HSF for gfx cards. I have one and its so damn quiet and keeps my card damn cool too since its huge. I found this on newegg, its $14 but you need to make sure that this is the correct one for your card. Here is the link:

I might have a stock 9800 pro fan around from when I replaced mine.... you interested?

Ya, but I need it pretty soon.
 
Ack... I've just recently moved... i checked my "old computer crap catch-all" box and it isn't there, and I have no idea where else it may be... I may have tossed it... Sorry :|
