The fan on my abit OTES ti-4200 died and the card is just past warranty. I was wondering if anybody had experience with these cards and if it was possible to remove the entire exhaust system and replace it with an aftermarket cooler. I was thinking of using this thermaltake kit:

Also this is my card

Thanks for any help. Right now i have the card massively underclocked so it doesnt overheat and I would like to be able to repair this problem.
 
I had that thermaltake cooler and ramsinks on my Ti 4600 just without the led light. It worked well and I was able to get a much higher overclock. Just get some slightly better thermal paste for the core cooler :)
 
There was a site somewhere that had replacement heatsinks and fans for the GF4 line of the OTES'. I'll look around a bit, this would be your best bet, it cools much better than Tt's cooler.
 
Just a bump for any other advice. I found one site that actually sells otes replacement fans but i would like to know if the above thermal take kit would do a good enough job of cooling as this model of card comes slightly overclocked in stock form.

Also, the only site I could find takes 5 minutes to load a page which makes me leery of how reputable of a sit it is.

I actually have one just sitting on my desk. I removed it because I got tired of the noise so I put on one of those Zalman passive heatsinks. If you want, make me an offer.
 
Pm sent with questions about how standard the mounting holes are and how tolerant the card is of other cooling solutions. Thanks.
