Good Morning All!
My GTX980 is starting to OH due to a faulty fan. Ive ordered a new fan from AliExpress but theres an issue with shipping causing even more of a delay.

1. Would anyone know where I can get one of these fans? (eBay is full of Strix Fans but the 3 fan models, not the 95mm 2 fan model

2. If not could I use a shroud from a different card maybe?

Thanks guys!

I would just cable tie a spare case fan over the faulty one as a temp fix for the over heating while your awaiting a proper replacement to be shipped.
 
Both of the fans on my GTX970 developed a ticking noise. When I'd eventually had enough of it I took of the stock fans and the shroud they sat in and mounted a 140mm PWM fan directly onto the heatsink in what I thought was the best location, which was over the GPU itself. I used a few small cable ties joined together.
I then connected the fan to the card's connector by means of a home made converter and the card has been fine for the last 4 years or so.
I probably cared about the temperatures initially after the mod so would likely have measured under load and what not but have long since forgotten all about it
 
Thanks all for the suggestions, Issue I have is that my case is SFF. The fan attached would mean it would no longer fit the case sadly. Great suggestions however

neur0maniak - I think you might be correct, The Fan is 95mm, 4 Screw Holes and 11 Fins...
