fan broken off

[Sarodan]

Hello there first time posting

oke so during the day my fan (third one furthest away from the IO plate) broke off so the "mount" where the fan is fixed on is still working so its spinning.

went to the shop they told me in two mins they couldn't fix it gave it back and where like "GL" 

 

Looking at the specific fan it doesn't seem to be like "buy a random new fan and continue"

Now I think I would need to replace the entire shroud (the windforce one) with a new one or is there any other solution?

atm i'm using it with 2 of the fans working but yeah my card is already at 62°c on 0 load while writing this and I bet my card isn't going to see the end of 2018 like this.

 

is there anyone here that could help me further (has a idea where I could buy such parts and fix it my self it doesn't look hard just 4 little screws) 

I been looking around on the internet but can't seem to find any place that sells these kind of things 

 

I'm from belgium so if you know any place in EU i could buy stuff off that be great  

 

I'm also not a pro at building pcs. I'm trying my best to find it myself and so but I need some help and like advice (putting glue on it probs isn't a good idea  )

...just want to fix this myself since the shop "can't" help even tho even I know there are aftermarket fans that they could of looked into 

 

If I missed any information i'm sorry i'll try to add it when needed 

Thanks for reading 

Saro

You could buy a Morpheus 2 and drop your temps a lot lower than the original cooler

If I can remember, they are 75 mm by 10 mm. You can find a lot of them on eBay. The mounting is pretty standard on these type fans so it will not be a problem putting it in.

 

To be sure, what type of Windforce card do you have?

 

off topic: nederlands of frans? :-D

Thanks for the morpheus ref looks interesting 

 

uh using the GTX 980 G1 Gaming 4GB rev 1.1

how exactly did the fan broke off? Any pictures?

 

do you have warranty?

 

You could just take the shroud off and tie case fans onto the heatsink with some plastic cable ties.

Ik was al bang dat je duits ging zeggen. 

Mijn duits is immers nogal roestig.

Indeed, if you still have warranty on the card, I would highly suggest using that option.

Although, from your explanation... you went to the store and they told you they couldn't fix it. So I assume the warranty period is over?

If I may ask: what was the shop's name?
