Hi guys. The cooling fan on my GeForce 4 Ti 4600 is dying. I opened the case today and verified that the fan IS still running, but it's quite loose on its bearings, thus it is running very noisily. I'm looking for an inexpensive fix for this because I don't really game (I primarily watch videos and listen to music) and this card has more than enough power for me.
Does it make sense for me to try and find a good VGA cooler to replace the dying fan? Does it make more sense to buy a new video card? I don't do much (read: almost no) gaming, and the games I play aren't all that demanding (WarCraft III is probably the most demanding game I play). The new card (if that's the way I go) would need to drive everything at 1280x1024 at 32 bit colour, as I'm running an LCD monitor on this setup.
Suggestions?
