can you ask that question again. I dont understand what you mean by your card shuts down because of fan, and fan is important to me. Hmm?

If your fan is shutting down because of heat it is likely defective. send it back and get a new one, gfx cards should always be able to run fine on stock cooling. Peace.

take a can of compressed air and blow out the fins of the heatsink on the video card also make sure you are getting enough air in the case. You shouldn't need a aftermarket fan unless you are pushing the card to limit overclocking or it is defective.
