i have a diamond stealth radeon 9200 card and recently it started making a buzzing noise which i found out was the fan doing this. i was wondering if i could remove the fan and just let the heatsink cool the card (the silver thing is the heatsink, right below the fan component?), would that be enough cooling or would my video card overheat?

i don't really play games, occasionally i might play wolfenstein enemy territory, but mostly i just watch dvds, videos, so that's what i'll be using my video card for mostly.

i just don't want my card to overheat or something but also that fan is really annoying too and i don't think i can fix it cuz it's too full of dust.
 
you might be able to..but on the other hand if you take it off and it get's to hot you'll fry your card..and it doesn't really matter if you game often or not..if you took it off and stressed the video card once and it got to hot you could fry it..

you could get a new cooler for your video card..or try to find a new fan or something
