Well... I ran my card monitoring software today, and lo and behold, it tells me my fan is running at 0 RPM. So I say wtf?! and pop the panel, and indeed my fan is dead. I seem to be able to kickstart it with my finger, but even then it spins at low revolutions and the monitoring software still claims that the fan is dead.

Most of the time I leave my card at stock settings of 200/333, but sometimes I overclock it at its highest/stable at 220/390. Would overclocking the card cause fan failure? I'm curious if any other Leadtek owners have had problems with their fan... maybe my fan is just a dud?

Good thing I have additional card fans... as it is there's only a minimal temperature increase without the stock geforce fan, so my gaming has not been interrupted by this.
