One of the fans on my MSI HD7870 is dying, only starts spinning when I set the fanspeed at 80+%
One option is to get replacement fans from aliexpress for about 15€ (which would probably take a month to ship).
For 25€ I could get this thing - http://gelidsolutions.com/thermal-solutions/vga-cooler-icy-vision-a/
Would the aftermarket one be worth it or should I just get the fan replacement? I'm not really looking for superb performance, just something better than a stock cooler with 1 fan working :D
