      That's a pretty crappy card, I don't know what replacement fans run but it's probably a pita to fix it, I'd just buy a new ~80 card to replace it. You can get a gt 650 ti for around $100 and it'll be about twice as fast. Otherwise checkout tomshardware.com and ask questions there. How do you know it's the fan that's bad and not just the card?

        hm cuz i could run every game without a single pb for years now D: especially dota, and now it makes a ton of noises, so i tried to vacuum it but its same shit, and when i open SpeedFan i can see that when i open dota, my GPU goes up to 100°C, +the noise and the fps going down from 120to 20 after 3min gaming..

        So i just guessed it was the fan cuz of the noise..
        Btw if i buy a new card is the fan alrdy with it ? it could be easier for me

        THx for helping !

            Make sure your power supply can handle the card you're buying first - the card you linked doesn't look like it takes much power, a 650 Ti uses significantly more I think.

              Why would he buy new card if only problem is temperature/fan

              Woof Woof

                buy new card if u have dollars not even kidding reviving the dead usually dont end well

                  If the gpu is overheating there might be more issues than just the fan. Like others said though you should check your power supply before upgrading.

                      Take a tip from personal experience here that swapping a GPU fan is only worth it if you are on a top level graphics card and actually need it (e.g. water cooling)

                      Swapping the fan voids the warranty on almost all cards, it is risky as if you don't fit the GPU cooler on correctly this can cause instant burnout in cases. (CPU's have a clipping mechanism GPU's don't)

                      !Buy a new card!

                        new card is on the way , cant open dota more than 3min now, (black screen after that ) i guess that means the GC is dead

                          Your onboard graphics might be enough to handle dota if you have a sandybridge cpu or something like that. Just remove the gpu see what happens.
