Replacement fan for GTS 250?

underclocker · 30-08-2012, 04:36 PM

Hi all. My Palit GTS 250 (1024) fan is getting a bit growly. It's out of warranty so no help from the manufacturers. In fact, they can't even be bothered telling me where I can get a suitable replacement fan.

I'm in New Zealand - can anyone suggest a suitable fan? I don't mind if I have to bodgy something up a bit, but a straight swap-over would be even better.

Cheers :-)

Aren't they just 9800's with a higher clock? you could probably botch a 9800 or 8800 aftermaket cooler - I'm sure there must be some second hand ones around?

Ghetto mod that bad boy and strap a case fan to it.

I can post you an Arctic Accelero S1 for $20 + $5 courier which was the best cooler around until fairly recently, fits a GTS 250 and you wont even hear it , perfect for that range of card and more but cant cope with modern behemoths

The best new option would be maybe an Arctic L2 but its not nearly as powerful

^ that would work perfectly, not a bad price either.
