Hi There,

I got an Asus GeForce2 GTS V7700 Series Graphic Card. The circular fan on the GPU went bad and started making grinding noise ever so often. I tried cleaning it, but still makes the annoying noise. I now want to replace the fan. Where can I buy a similar fan for my Graphic card? You guys know of any good place? I need the fan with the three wires (red, black, and blue)and has three holes on the connector plug so I can connect it into the pins on the graphic card. Can I buy an exact fan from Asus???
Fans that don't have the three wires or cannot connect into my graphic card pins, creates problems I think. I tried a Vantec which has two wires. I connect the wires into one of the plug available on my computer power supply, and some of my installed program softwares became unstable, sometime giving me weird errors. I think the third wire has something to do with the control speed of the GPU fan. Please help!!!

Thanks for your help.

The third wire (yellow) is to detect speed it shouldn't have effect on it.
I have to replace mine in FX5200 with a ventec iceberq, in overclockers.co.uk.

I love my pc
but my pc hates me...
