Would someone please advise me what heat sink/fan to use for my Nvidia GeForce 4 TI 4600 GPU?

The card is in need of repair, the CAPs need changing as they are leaking, plus the fan on the stock cooler is gone, so I want to replace it with something better, but all the suggestions I see here for Zalman and other fans are no longer available.

Please can someone suggest an available cooler that would fit?

I thank you in advance.

Here are some pics.

What's wrong with the stock one?
When the fan blades are almost at right angles, it is a turbine. It pushes air from the center to the edge at a higher speed and pressure than a regular fan.
Turbine

Fan

It would be better to try to disassemble and lubricate the bushing.
Most likely, the impeller is simply pulled upward with some force.

Buy a 50x50x15mm heatsink and a 50x50mm DC fan. You can use thermal paster to permanently attach the heatsink or use 3M double-sided tape and thermal grease. You should also install small SMD heatsinks for the RAM chips.

Thank you for your replies. I have found a heat sink that I think will fit, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CZ6V4FVP?ref=pp … _fed_asin_title

Now I just need to find someone to recap it for me!
