asus strix 1070 fans all but dead

[star_weaver]

had 1 die on me about 2 months ago, was the 1 up by the video ports (just put this 1 back over vrms)
just had the 1 by the vrms just give out, no hope for it, had to cut it lose due to how hot the fan was, hotter than the card itself ~70c

i really dont wana go to china for replacement fans but im probably forced to do so, and yes i have well and truly voided the warranty on the card so doing an RMA is not an option and i dont really want to hook up a water block lto it and linus it up to my aio for my cpu, so if any 1 knows a way to get a cooler, or replacement fans that wont cost almost as much as a new card im all ears, keep in mind i have looked around in new zealand for alternatives but aliexpress seems like the only option

heres the less bad fan and what its not doing (fan speed doesnt change "1% or 100% its all the same" when the bad fan is in use, or the 1 i had to cut out)

uuug, rip out the fan shroud and hook up some regular fan to it? what's hard about that.

Just get an arctic accelero xtreme iv for 70 bucks and strap it on the card. It will work fine, clock higher and be quiter than the strix cooler

welp, that happened, the last fan on it died, planing on just going bawlz to the wall and getting a custom loop from ek, aint gona be cheap but i think its time i moved up in the world, my aio for me cpu needs some refilling since it occasionally sounds like its gurgling but i can get a loan for it easy so no big deal on my part, untill then its a passively cooled 1070, and no i dont have zipties
