GTX 770 fan replacement?

Hi all

I have a ZOTAC GTX 770 which is still going strong, and I can't exactly replace it given the stock situation.

However, the fan constantly speeds up and slows down every few seconds, from 30% to 100% speed repeatedly. I can force it to 100% with software but anything less and it keeps spiking again.

It only does it when the drivers are enabled in Windows (so not on the BIOS screen etc) but I'm pretty sure it's a hardware fault on the card somewhere.

I was hoping I can just wire the fan to the motherboard (if playing a game I can manually increase the speed) to keep it at a steady 50% or so. Or replace the fans entirely with something else.

Any suggestions?
