OK people............

I must have no luck when it comes to graphic card fans Cry

bought myself a zalman vf770 from quiet pc in the hope that it would replace my heat sink and fan on my graphic card, once again i have killed a fan. The zalman was geforce 9500gt compatible. Sad to say though that mine is a point of view geforce 9500gt and not nvidia so the cooling system is far too large for my card. here is a pic/spec of my card..................

http://www.pointofview-online.com/showroom.php?shop_mode=product_detail&product_id=99

the dimentions of the current heatsink is approx 7cm x 5.3cm with a 4cm fan. The heatsink is fitted using just 2 holes in the actual graphic card (unlike the one i have purchased that uses 4 and is alot bigger than my card)

Many thanks in advance for any help and support on this.  But i am getting a bit hacked off trying to find something.  Now it would help if you found a bargin on a UK web site and not a shop selling it in something called dollars Tongue

best wishes

Stephen

It depends of the size of the card though, but the 9600 will work for you, if you find it in a store, you will see the full list of the cards that the fan supports on the case.

no bloody idea mate !
 
a mate of mine has the heatsink and fan just now to try and replace the fan.
 
got a geforce 7950 from another friend today.  HUGE  - 1 and a half the length of a normal card and is actually 2 cards stuck together so takes up two slots.
 
alas to big for my motherboard components.
 
so until then no gaming for me Angry

Would not touch that psu in link.If your run'in a 22" and less monitor. 515mb vs 1gb aint gonna matter much.
 
If the budget is around 75 euro's(whatever)best bang is 9800gtx:
 
 
or
 
GTS 250
