hello guys.

i have a prob.. my graphic card is installed upside down, meaning with the fan facing downwards. and recently the fan fell out of the heatsink and broke.

i would like to find a replacement for it, and finding a cooler that come with fan which is not glued to the heatsink (with casing or screws).

any suggestions? coolviva that u all mention in the early pages is not coolviva pro right? is coolviva pro also lousy?

er normal ATX all the fan face down de a? i tot dell stupid oni hehe.

the fan, with some soldered temperature sensor, was stick to the middle part of the heatsink. So both of them fell down.

The blade hit the base of PC casing( the location very near to ground) and 1 of the blades broke.

The card is colorful 8600UE. The heatsink look something like zalman VF700 but not zalman la. Since got this kinda problem already, i would like to find cooler the have the fan securely fixed onto the heat sink, preferably with casing like the CM coolviva pro. But like a lot ppl say it no good.. budget around 100 oni lo.

The card here
