I need to get a replacement fan for my XF HD6870.. 2 pin, 70mm/9 blade fan, 3 hole 40mm bracket. I have not had any luck finding a reasonably priced fan on ebay. Any one able to offer suggestions on where I could find this?

Those fans are quite hard to come by, some time ago i did something like this to my ol 6750:

Thanks, I was thinking I might remove the GPU case and do something similar. There is compatible fan I found here:which might be an option although it seems a little expensive.

Actually another solution would be to find a 4 pin to 2 pin adapter... I have a fan that fits but it uses a 4 pin connector not the 2 pin that the card requires. I think the Black/Red are the power connections and the blue and yellow are controllers but not sure how I could splice these into an existing 2 pin connector.
