Okay...I had this 2X forsa 9600GT with a dual slot cooling, the fan of one of them suddenly blew up and send those fan blades flying in my casing and I was like WTF ?!?!
Then i quickly shut down and take the fan corpse out and think...nobody is going to warranty this
so any suggestion cooling solution for my 9600GT ? I going to get a pair...
Currently i am still running the rig but I rearrange the fans and now both of my 9600GT running at max 68c will playing dead space and one actually using passive cooling...i removed the blown fan...and i have no idea what kind of heatsink or brand to start with...help..

And will 68c temp kill my cards..?

Thanks in advance
Really really really thanks

68 is fine, even 88 would be normal.
I dont see why it wouldnt be warrantied, however since you removed the fan, that might void the warranty.
Are you sure one of your cables didnt make contact with the fan causing it to come apart?

If the cooler is the stock one, you should be able to contact the manufacturer and RMA it back.

68C won't kill your card...if you are consistently in the 90-100C range, I would start to get concerned. Either way, if the stock cooler was the one that blew up...call them and get new cards out of the deal.

Just rma the card. My fan exploded when I applied compressed air from my air compressor. No regulator... I did the rma. And got my card back in just over a week. Just explain what happened to it.

Ohh..i..see...I didn't took the whole heat sink out, just remove the 3 small screw and the fan came out and no warranty stick is spoiled here, I guess I'll just try to RMA 1st then see what they got to say meanwhile searching for a new heatsink for it. Thanks guys,
Zalman VF900..how the thermalright models ?
