GPU Fan Mount Broke

[Ryeleigh]

Bought a used GPU, its good for a week or so until I noticed it today that one of the fan is misaligned.

Upon closer look, the fan mount on the shroud broke. The fan still spin normally though.

Contacted the seller and they said just send it back to them, they'll take a look.

Now, I think its gonna be either one of these:

1. They gonna try to fix it themselves

2. Refund me

3. Change it to other units

 

It'd be nice if they changed it to other unit of same spec (GTX 1660 Super) since they are a second hand shop, but if they offer me a refund I'd probably refuse since I couldn't find another 1660S for 85-ish USD on my region.

Now question is, should I really send it back to them? Considering I'm really tight on budget (I need to cover all shipment) and the time required for shipment is probably going to take a week or so.

Can glue fix this? Also in case they offered me a refund instead.

Thanks in advance for any response.

With the right type of glue and some careful application, probably.
