This is the second time my stock gpu fan failed . First time i went to tech guys and they said it was dust in fan and behind gpu card .But after a month same problem . While gaming the fan stop spinning and monitor goes black . the good news is that after i restart the pc screen works everything fine . but bad news is that gpu work and temps are at 60c idle . So my question is , can i buy new fan and connect this fan to mobo 3pin and not on gpu 3pin?Or gpu wont work if 3pin on gpu is not connected ?
CARD IS GTS450 .

GPU will probably work without detecting a fan, try it and see what happens. You want to connect the fan to the mobo so you can monitor RPM so you know if the fan is dying?

What card is it? It's obviously not working well. Have you tried re-seating the cooler on the gpu?

Why don't you buy a new one? Especially if yours is old.

Try replacing it with a GTX750Ti - $130, 65W about 2 1/2 x better performance than the gts 450
