Howdy texguy1945...

To be honest any 40x40x10mm fan should work...

Here's one...

Thanks very much, but this is a very thin fan for a GF graphics card. It has to fit flush with the fins.

 

[texguy1945]

Also, it has to have a two-pin connector.

Yea...

The 40=wide and the 40=tall and the 10=thickness ( 40x40x10mm ), that's the specs I got from a search...

Use the info if you want, doesn't matter to me...

As far as the connector the red and black wires are all you need, if it has more disregaurd them, cut the end from your old fan, and cut the end from the new fan, wire black to black and red to red to the old connector ( insulate each wire with electrical tape )and plug it up...

Or just contact the manufacturer and they can tell you what to get, or even supply it to you.

Jackdw Had the best post..........Contact manufacturer and they will take care of you by sending you a new fan EASY AS!

You can also find replacement fan kits for graphics cards, perhaps you're just searching for the wrong kind of fan. You might also specifiy the make/model of the graphics card...

If you're looking for just the fan and intend to keep the original heatsink then you may wish to re-evaluate that and buy a fan/heatsink combo.

yeah what magical gfx card do you have, you may need to replace the whole hsf assembly, many after market units are much better than the originals. My sons 6800GT would probably be hard to just find a fan for, its not a regular fan, one of those turbine types set right into the heat sink.
