ASUS 4870 Fan issue

[PhReaK2007]

So I got myself Asus 4870 512, for a bargain.
Installed and played games like never before. Everything went sailing smooth until yesterday, the fan just stopped working.. Now to RMA the damn thing will take forever.

So is there anyone that can recommend a fan that I can use on the same heatsync ?? or will it be better yo get a whole new heatsync and fan for the card ?

RMA it

and do what in the mean time ??
Is there no fan that I can just replace the existing one with ?

No, You cannot replace the fan. You need to replace the entire HSF.
