GTX590 part needed..Fan or Fan complete with cover

[Revolution]

Hi all..

As the title says really, playing Farcry 3 and heard a loud rattle then green lines on the screen....my fan lost two blades, don`t know how as I have a clean rig so nothing moved into the spinning fan.

I turned off the computer within seconds, if I get another fan on it then I can restart and check for other issues, thing is the blades decided to bury themselves into the fins etc.. if it runs ok then should I cancel my RMA..?

Just before Christmas too, going to be February next year before it comes back at this rate..

So can anyone help who have maybe done a waterblock conversion..?

Oh, I would love to put a water block on there but that means a full cooling upgrade, that I cannot afford this time of year.

Thanks.

Revo.

Maybe you should consider to replace the whole cooler?
The Gelid Icy 2 isn't that expensive, and it will cost as much as fans replacements.

The GTX590 is a dual gpu card..

I wouldn't cancel your RMA. It broke, so get it fixed.

Question is would you get a 590 as a replacement ?

`Equal to` I suppose if they have no stock, but what`s that in today's market...?

That thing was fantastic despite its relatively small memory of 1.5GB.

Don`t know what they will do.

780 would be fair, 770/680 would be worse (Looking at Anand gpu bench)
