6200 AGP FAN problem

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

I bought a new 6200 AGP, the fan has quit working.. Is this the case
with all cards of this model.. Do they ship with cheap fans to cut
down cost.. Can i purchase a cheap fan and heatsink for less than $20.
..

No. If it is the 128bit (non-TurboCache) version, it will need
a fan. Exspecially if it is an AGP version with the HSI chip. Think
about it. The 6200 non TC is faster than a GF3, and problably falls in
the range of a GF4 Ti card. Would you run one of them without a fan?
Not talking about heat pipes, and water colling either.
