Title: Need new fan for ref 5970, can not find replacement. Post by: bitjet on August 01, 2011, 06:02:03 PM My fan seized up on one of my 5970's today. I can not find a replacement anywhere. Any ideas?
thanks! Title: Re: Need new fan for ref 5970, can not find replacement. Post by: cicada on August 01, 2011, 11:16:45 PM Time to try out water cooling ;)
Title: Re: Need new fan for ref 5970, can not find replacement. Post by: bitjet on August 02, 2011, 04:40:23 AM Was thinking about it.. Its gonna be like $300 to get into that with my pair of 5970's.. How many cards can I cool off of one setup? I've got 4 other 58XX cards. It would be nice to put the radiator somewhere where I can help heat my house in the winter.

or if its the same fans as other modals (5830) you could find a faulty one of that. or a 3rd party cooler like http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-048-ZA&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=787 not sure where you would get one for the 5970 |
