    GeForces have crappy fans? how to replace?

    Ok, this has happened to me before.

    back then I bought the original GeFroce 256.. I think it was from Guillemot. After a good year or two of use, the fan on it began to fail and it made a whining noise and then just didn't work. I had to replace it. It was pretty easy.

    But now I have a GeForce 3 (original) and the fan is embedded in the heatsink.. and the heatsink cools the memory as well. so it will be a little harder to replace. does anyone know where I could maybe order a spare heatsink + fan?

    thanks
