Last summer I purchased a Leadtek WinFast Geforce 2 Pro w/64 mb ram. It's been working great for me until now, as the gigantic fan that all Leadtek cards come equipped with has ceased to function properly. It still spins when the computer is on, but not fast enough; my hardware monitor clocks it in at 0 rpms and my video card surpasses critical temperature in just a few minutes on powering up (current temp is 72 C). Ugly lockups abound. I e-mailed tech support and expect to hear from them in a year or two, as their mail servers crashed.

System specs:
P3 500
512 mb ram
Leadtek Winfast GeForce 2 Pro /w 64 mb ram
DirectX v. 8.1
nVidia DetonatorXP drivers v. 23.11

A standard 40mm fan will probably fit.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

I use an old Pentium 75 fan to cool my GeForce 2 MX which is overclocked. Try to find an old CPU cooler.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground :eek:  .
