My fan on my 9600 Pro AIW died.. I don't want to risk burning it up with games, try finding a new heatsink (aren't the AIW ones hard to find?), and I don't want to invest in buying a new AGP card...

I've got a Voodoo 4, and a Geforce 2 series as backups, which one do I choose?

Thanks,

Can't you just pop on a aftermarket heatsink? You could atleast just use thermal epoxy and put one on, it would be permanent, but not like its a new card your planning on changing sinks on again probably.

I could, but...

1. It's an AIW Card (aren't they hard to find?)
2. I don't have a job, and can't get one for a while (Still 15)
3. My computer is horribly out of date, I really would like an upgrade, and don't want to invest in a new heatsink/card
 
my regular 9600 pro was a beast.

i bought it refurbished from newegg, eventually the fan quit working. i would fix it every few months by adding oil. eventually i quit fixing the fan. still ran fine. then discovered overclocking. over clocked it by 10%. it still ran fine without a spinning fan. the metal around the fan would get hot like a heat sink. but still worked great.

still have it. sapphire is top on my list now.
 
Do you have older heatsink for socket A or 370? You can easily mod it and use thermal adhesive or superglue with some thermal paste. Or use twistie ties.
