Fans for a R7870

[RobTi]

Hi my son has just gave me his old rig with a msi R7870-2GD5T/OC card which I have found only 1 fan works unless I ramp it up to over 88% when they both run, which after reading online appears a well know issue. So can anyone tell me where to get a set of replacement fans please ?
Thanks

My old 7970 lightning did the same exact thing from very early on in its life, only 1 fan would spin unless fan speed was set to 80%+. I just left it, as after reseating with liquid metal it would largely stay under 70C @ 79% fan speed, and was much quieter. You could try removing your fans and lubricating / removing any dust / hair that may be stopping it spinning at lower power. As for replacements there seem to be plenty on ebay.

Just strap 120mm fans to it, my 7870 was dead silent after doing that.

Exactly what I did with my 4850.
