When the fan siezed up then the 9800 Pro would overheat causing the computer
to freeze up.Kind of ironic. Or when I moved a window over to the second CRT
display it would cause a restart. The heatsink was hot as a pistol. I hope
the graphics chip isn't destroyed yet. What can I do for the cooling of this
card? I don't think I can get a replacement fan from ATI so is there some
aftermarket fan/heatsink that I could get? On this card the little fan sits
inside the heatsink attached by three screws rather than on top of it. I
don't think I can find an exact sized fan to fit inside so I would have to
place a bigger fan over the entire heatsink. Do you think this will cool it
down enough? Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks.
