Hi, there every1! I got an ABIT Siluro Ti4200-8x OTES graphics card. D prob. is d fan stopped working & I'm looking 4 replacement either d fan alone or d entire heatsink/fan assembly.

So any idea, guys, out there? I tot of replacing d whole thing wif CoolerMaster CoolVIVA. Whadya think, guys?

Here r images of my card.

Well, 4 a start diz OTES cooler from ABIT is quite proprietary. It uses a slim drum fan (blower) which is 5cm in diameter, 1cm high & d mounting holes r ~5.5cm diagonally apart.

As 4 d copper mounting holes, it's ~8cm apart diagonally.

Do u think VANTEC Iceberg or yr extra Ti4200 HSF will fit in?
Thx 4 d reply, pal.

Hee... hee.. 4 a start diz monster it's a 2 slotter already. If I slap in my a 80mm fan diz monster will become a big Mac.

After removing, d top trans. blue air guide & blower fan, what is left @ d bottom is a ~2mm thick thin & flat copper plate ontop of d gfx core wif it's 4 mounting holes; 8cm diagonally apart!!! I think no go... Diz bloody !@#$ OTES is designed wif a copper heatplate in mind; fins @ d left/rear of card. Thus OTES - Outside Thermal Exhaust System or should I say Out-of-Tiz-world Extra-terrastial System!!!

Replacing diz fan is a headache bcoz of it's odd size. See my prev. post.
That's why, I wanna ripped out d entire OTES heatsink/fan assembly & replace it wif CM CoolVIVA if possible.
