I had a bfg 8400gs. It had a really small heatsink with a cheap fan. The fan stopped and the temp went to 100 and the pc crashed. I was unable to find a new fan that would fit the heat sink, but I got a universal heasink and fan on ebay for like $5.00. It came with a little thermal past and attached with little plastic push pins. It only took 10 minutes to change the heat sink and fan combo.
