Looking for a link to a replacement fan for a GTX 970 STRIX. Gpu support fell over into the left fan and broke off one of the blades and now the whole thing shakes like crazy whenever the fans spin up.
Ideally would like to only spend around $20, Also i live in canada so preferably from a seller/website with quick shipping times. I did try to find one myself but I'm really not that tech savvy and was worried i might get the wrong one.
All recommendations are appreciated, Thanks.

Honestly, it might not be very worth it to get a new fan. I suggest that you just save a little extra money if you can, and get a custom cooler for the card.

 

The Arctic Accelero coolers are amazing and not super expensive.

Accelero mono plus is very nice on 970 strix. But you have to use the stock heatsink for the vrms and you cant control fan speed as the card has a 5pin fan header.

960 970 and 980 strix have same fan, to help your seach. 
This isn't the cheapest one, but a lot of sales and a seller I've bought from 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Thermal-Graphics-Fan-Blades-for-ASUS-Raptor-STRIX-GTX960-GTX970-GTX980-T129215SU/401438178274

I see some for under 10 US as well. They won't have the sticker, but they're the cheap way to go over a user parted one. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

I don't care about the sticker i just need it to function. I think I'll try one of the $10 ones

How about taking off the shroud and just ziptie any decent case fans to the cooler?

I mean the card runs pretty cool why not just snap off the blade opposite it to balance the fan? It's already broken couldn't hurt to try :P

I've done that before, and this one is not symmetrical unfortunately. Even if it was, it's hard to balance and loud, only good as a temp solution.
