the fan was working for like a week then i realized my pc was hot ... my cpu went up to 90°C and random shutting down so i checked my pc and when i was reaching for my gpu my hand stung a little bit and noticed that the left fan isnt working even if i try to max it out in afterburner

then i tried disassembling it then i saw this

Those fans are not standard fans ... you can look for broken card on ebay of the same model for like $10 and use the fans ...

as for the Arctic cooler , it does support GTX 660 and is better that the 2 fans you have ...

still I would not replace the cooler until it is the last resort. try soldering the wire first and see ...

the cooler is $34 in new egg.. I dont know maybe you can find GTX 660 on ebay for $40 lol

If you buy the Artic cooler, then you would replace the whole heatsink and fan unit, you wouldnt be able to attach the shroud.

In my opinion its not worth spending that much money on a 660 though, might aswell just fix the broken wire.
