I have issues with fans in two cards, need replacements but do not know the specs.
Anyone knows where can I find replacements fans for the fans of 3dfx cards and the ASUS V9950 Ultra?. The 3dfx one became too noisy, squeaks at high reps and looks like it wobbles quite a bit. One of the Asus 9950 ultra fans (right one) simply stopped moving and no longer spins.

For the 3dfx I would like to find the original ones with the 3dfx logo in them (...ideally)
For the ASUS V9950 Ultra, if anyone has any idea what type of fans are these are where to buy spares would be great. I got 3 different types from ebay and my local amazon and turned to be too small of too high/tall and in any case the screw holes did not align at all..cant get the dimensions right.

Both coolers require maintenance. Disassemble them and apply silicon oil.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

This will only work temporary. If the fans use sleeve bearings you wamt to use something much thicker. Rifle and ball bearings your want to repack or replace the bearings.
