I have a hybrid 6800 that's on the 6800 Ultra PCB board and this sucker overheats quick, the stock fan spins, but not fast anymore, I tried to feel how fast it was spinning (just out of curiosity) and litterally singed the hair on my hand. Shortly after, my game of Portal was artifacting horribly.
The actual card is a ASUS V9999 Gamer's edition. A plain jane 6800 chip, with the GT's DDR3 memory on a reference 6800 Ultra board.
I threw this into my woman's PC after much deliberation, it was a toss up out of three weaker cards (9200, 6200 and a 5600XT), but I remembered I had the 6800 collecting dust in the basement, so I dug it out, found a suitable PSU (replaced a fan in the PSU first) and tossed it in. The reason the card was in storage basically is that it's given me trouble in the past, and I never thought to check out the fan and heatsink.
Oh, yeah, my question is this, what is a good replacement heatsink/fan for this badboy?
Thanks in advance everyone!
EDIT: Oh, I think I can just replace the fan itself (I can keep my cool blue illumination), how difficult is this to do, and I have no idea what fan will fit, I'm looking on newegg and am completely clueless...
