Hi,
I have a pc with a geoforce 4400 graphics card in and the fan is screwed,
the card is only being used in pc I am building to work as a server so it
isn't going to do a lot. I have disconnected the fan, if the card does go
this won't hurt the rest of the system will it ?
thanks


Manufacturers don`t put a fan on a chip for fun, Simon !.
Fit a fan, or risk cooking the graphics card.

hehe true enough I suppose. Anyone know where you can get replacement fans
like this in the uk ?

Maplins for us English people <g>. Take the old one as a pattern.
