Title sums it up, both my fans are dead but my video card was made to run with good temps idle without any fans running, so i should be fine if i don't force it. I can send it to RMA but i need to be able to play as soon as possible and cannot wait weeks, does anyone have a quick/temporary fix to help me cool my video card just so i can actually get good frames on my game until i RMA it, any help is much appreciated :) Have a good day!

They are completely dead, at first one started making squeeling noises then it started spinning very slowly and finally it just popped out, the other one died a few months later with everything same but squeeling noise, it just stopped spinning, bad bearings i guess. note; i've always used MSI afterburner to control everything i wish

ZOTAC IS WELL AWARE OF THIS. The fans are garbage. Buy a new card. (they sent me a replacement fan and it did the same thing.) don't buy ZOTAC. Also their CS is garbage. (I had that card, the 970.)
