I am thinking that the fan on my 9800 is dying. It sounds like like a dying cat. What would be a good single slot cooler/replacement fan for the 9800 pro. I am using a Shuttle.

PS: I might buy a new graphics card anyway, but I want to get this working well before I get rid of it and give it to somebody else.
 
I installed a Zalman VF700 on my All-In-Wonder 9800-Pro and it is almost dead silent (if you install on an All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro you have to mod it with a Dremel tool though because of the TV tuner).
 
This one is not single slot, but I can tell you from experience with it, it is truely an awesome gpu cooler.

I have not seen a replacement fan (other than a stock replacement, if you can even get one anymore) for the 9800 that is single slot.
 
ya, go with the vf-700.
VF-900 would cool better, but since your card is a 9800
and you seem to have a mind set of buying a new card,
so just go with a cheaper yet efficient solution, vf-700.

Quiet, efficient, and cool looking :)
(I recommended to LED version because it looks more cooler and at the
current time is a dollar cheaper :p )

I'm pretty sure there aren't any single-slot coolers that are still being sold for that card.
 
When the fan on my 9800 NP died I took it off and installed a Thermaltake Schooner... it's passively cooled, so no noise, and it has performed to expectations for the past year with the system noted below. It was quite difficult to install though but done properly it seems to function as well for cooling purposes as did the original fan.
