Title: WTB: Reference 5870 Replacement Fan Post by: ChanceCoats123 on August 20, 2012, 02:38:30 PM I need to buy a replacement fan since my reference 5870's fan is dying as we speak. I saw the post from crypto anarchy, but I figured there has to be someone else with a more competitive price that wants BTC. :)
PM with details, I need one, but may buy two if the price is right.

I'm not sure what they go for so send me an offer. Would ship from NJ.

http://cgi.ebay.com/280800583937 But TBH, I haven't replaced a single fan since I figured out how to repair them without disassembling the heatsink or fan. Just need a small off center hole on the face of the fan to insert some lubrication oil, and fan works like new. It's a gamble if you want to resell something like that though.

Keep in mind that most of those fans on eBay are not exact replacements. You'll have to cut off that tab that holds the wire, since the original fan has a narrower tab.

The 5970s and 5870s I have done will not take the larger tabbed fans. I just did a 5850 couple days ago and I was able to install the larger tabbed one no problem.
