Hi, I am think about a replacement fan for my matrox-parhelia AGP.
The fan is very noisy. Perhaps someone has changed it already and has an advice what fan to get.

Thx
Doc

It would be very helpfull if there was a kind of database, which replacement-fans or other cooling solutions exist for different graphics-cards.

From the look of it, it seems like a northbridge heatsink should fit but per se it looks like these holes are made for small heatsinks and small fans which usually ends up producing a high pitch noise, in the past i 3d printed brackets that gave me the possibility to attach bigger fans than normal on small heatsinks, that's one solution.

There must have been someone who changend the fan/cooler on such a parhelia card....?
I am currently using a P650 that is an excellent card, but has half the bandwith and half the tmu's/shaders etc. and that cut the performance more than in half.
