You may still be able to get a replacement fan from Gigabyte. I'd send them an e-mail explaining the situation and see what they can do.

Accelero provides some...

contact gigabyte and see if they can sell you a heatsink/fan assembly..worth a shot.
I bought a MSI 560 ti tf2 for like $50 back when they were prime...but only had 1 fan. I called MSI, but they wanted me to buy the whole assembly and not a single fan. I ended up attaching the accelero twin turbo ii onto it.

Probably higher temps yes...considering the fan that is on there doesnt even blow directly over where the chip sits.
In the meanwhile, remove the shroud (plastic part) itself, strap on a couple few high rpm 90mm fans with zip ties..
edit. or remove the fan and place it in the middle while you wait for the other fans.

I'm picking up a new card on Wednesday. Then later on i'll order the fans for the 480 fix the card and sell it because I only have 1 PC. I'm going to choose from whatever BestBuy has. They have the GTX 970 reference which is what I want but if not I'm sure they'll have something else.
If you only have 2 fans running; you probably want them in the middle and back spots; especially in longer single GPU cards there's more stuff to the front of the GPU than behind it.
If you're not absolutely wedded to buying the card at BB; Amazon + express shipping is probably going to be cheaper overall. In most cases the too good to be true priced card they advertise online is only available at 3 stores nationwide and is to sucker you into visiting the the store where they can fob an overpriced card off on you instead.
This is a reference card PCB; but most aftermarket boards end up using either a reference PCB or something very similar even when they slap a custom cooler on it. (Unless they're going for a shorter than standard card anyway.)

holy moly.
um check the paste and reapply some new on there...
i know the 480s ran hot, but jeez!
that may be a bit high."The maximum temperature for the GPU is 105C"
So dont do long benches or it will burn up!

If you're running that hot, it's definitely not safe to continue. Unless you can find quality settings low enough (or games light enough) to keep it below ~90; no gaming until you have the cooler fixed. Operating at 100C will rapidly kill the GPU and make replacing the fan a moot point.
Both checked. It is running cooler though. The problems I was having before like the artifacts aren't there anymore. I'm definitely getting a new GPU for XMAS though. For sure.
Running the card in a Gateway DX4860-UB33P btw. Power Supply is a Corsair CX750M Modular.

If that's your case then it all makes sense. Slow exhaust fans.. 1 single and 1 for the power supply and zero intake. case needs a fan mounted in the front or side blowing cool air in.
Prob better off buying a cheap 40-60 dollar case and swapping the stuff in that new case.
If you go that route a cheap great case for cooling would be a Cooler Master half 912.http://www.microcenter.com/product/343331/HAF_912_Mid_Tower_ATX_Computer_Case
Have a 120mm fan for the back and 120/140mm fan on the side blowing cool air right at your card. Nice and quiet 50-60 cfm fans prob would drop those tempts 20+ celcius.
