hi was happy with my gigabyte gtx480 till recently when suddenly the fans stopped turning,now i cant remember if they stopped before driver update or not.
since then i have cleaned card,rolled back drivers and then uninstalled drivers and re installed them but still no fans.
anything i can try before i call ocuk, not sure how much warranty came with card but prob gonna be out of warranty.
if out of warranty can i just put new case style fans on it ?
cheers for any input mel

its a gygabyte special edition with 3 fans on it.

is there any way to check that ? i dont have another powerpack to test it.
the computer starts and the card powers up just the fans dont turn.
i'll try different lines on powerpack.

cheers for input all
