Ati 5870 replacement fan

I took apart my video card and find out you cant even oil the fan. Does anyone know where i could get an replacement fan. The noise is driving me nuts.

The fan isn't replaceable.....

Only thing you can do is use an aftermarket cooler.

I am sure if you search back far enough you will see me bitching about the same thing :)

Is the noise due to a faulty fan? Or it generates lots of fan/wind noise when the card is gaming?

A faulty fan you should be able to RMA the card.

I was thinking of getting the Thermalright Spitfire 6 HeatPipes. But damn talk about overkill. 140mm fan on a video card.

Haha, At least you'll know that your GPU Isn't going to be hot at all! (If you got the 140mm fan).

I remember on my old HIS X1950 Pro the fan bearing became faulty and made a rattling sound. Only solution was to fork out $30 for an Antec replacement exhaust cooler which worked just as well as the original.
