Is this in every issue of theirs? I've heard about this but wasn't sure if they only did this one time or not.

No, it's not that. I disconnected the fan completely and I still had the same problem. It seems like underneath where the fan sits, there's a chip that isn't being covered by the new fan, and so the...

Guess I'll be buying a new card. The fan stopped working again and cleaning didn't help at all like I'd hoped. Oh well.

Since the fan is attached to the card, how would an aftermarket fan work? Would I attach it to the card or inside the PC?

Better question is what do you want to do with the card, and how much are you looking to spend?[/QUOTE]

I think I may just purchase this card (http://*******/b10vM0), as it's basically the same as I have now, only from a different vendor. The card also has HDMI ports that were on my original card.
