Fan dying

I have two HIS IceQ H5670 video cards in my system and on one of them the fan is dying, ratteling noises while it's running...I pulled it out of it's bushing and lubed it with some triflow and it quieted down for a day but it's back to being noisy today so I guess I'm not going to be able to fix it. What do you do when one of these custom hsf fans dies on a video card? It's not a standard fan and I have no need (or money) to upgrade right now.
Is there somewhere that sells replacement fans for specific vcards? Will I have to jerry rig a standard fan into it?

Looking for ideas:confused:
 
You can get them on performance pcs and other sites, or ebay. With that small GPU you should be able to use many of the better "generic" coolers, maybe something like this.

You go ghetto on it!! :D

you remove the fan and plastic casing and slap a 12V squirrel cage fan from Radio Shack and put some cardboard on the heatsink ;)

or just zip tie any old fan to it

I think Sidewinder and Xoxide carry the little buried frame fans
 
Ok, I bought two of these off ebay , The dimensions are about right and the price was good so I got an extra for when the fan in the other vcard starts to go. Hopefully the video cards current fans are 5 volt and not 12 volt, I didn't think to check before I ordered but evercool makes the same fan in a 12 volt version too, it just costs more.

Thanks for the tips:D
