Hey guys, i know im way behind in the world of computers but not for much longer. I am going to be building a new one this summer, but heres my problem right now
My 9800 pro fans arent working anymore due to me being lazy and not cleaning the dust out of them. So i was wondering if there is a temp fix, because im not buying a new card to have to buy another one this summer....any help is appreciated!
 
Im sure someone here has a stock cooler laying around...Post in the FS/FT forums...
 
There are plenty of aftermarket GPU coolers out there, such as the Zalman VF-700Al. They aren't all that expensive either, and better yet they're widely available.
 
i used 3-in-one oil on one of my gpu fans and the fan was like new again. :)
 
i bought one of those zalmans, i just hope i did everything right...got the thermal paste on there, the fan kinda moved a bit when i was trying to screw it down...is that ok? I covered the whole gpu, hopefully it will make it just to the end of summer...
