Cooling fans for an old GTX 1060 (6GB)

[Coolerman]

I need to replace the fans on my old GTX 1060 but am having difficulty finding a suitable replacement of the correct size - the cloest that I've found so far are these:

Pardon our interruption...

but they're more expensive than I'd hoped plus I'll need to wait for delivery from China.

What makes the fans a problem to source is the plastic bracket that they are attached to - finding the same type of bracket with the correct measurements is proving very difficult.

The 'brand' label on my fans is AFOX (and yes, I've tried searching for that brand but no luck).

Is there even a specific name for these fans on that particular type of bracket with screw holes at the corners?


Thanks

Another option remove the shroud & fans, buy a couple of cheap 92mm or 120mm fans from Overclockers. Then tie wrap them to the heat sink & connect to a spare motherboard fan controller using a splitter.

I think that would be the easiest way to solve the issue.
