Perhaps a "Delta BFB04512HHA Graphics Card Fan 12V 0.21A nVidia GeForce" is what you are looking for?

Ok a step in the right direction. Thanks. Sadly i only see that fan for about 30 bucks. May as well as re-buy a 6800 series card for that money. Hopefully i can still find something cheap.

How about something similar to this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-45-mm-2-P … yQAAOSwnNBXU03R

Found among the top hits after searching for "video fan" then sorting by price-ascending

As its only the fan your after you can probably get a good deal on a "spares/repair" or even faulty 6800 card listing on ebay or wherever.
I would bet most of the dead ones are due to the heat/solder issue rather then a failed fan.

Just Drill Holes inside the plate and screw a Fan to the top plate ?

I think you can remove the thing with the Nvidia logo and under it there should be a heat sink, just place a fan over it and see how the temperatures looks.

While the last 2 ideas are likely viable, they will turn this card from a 1-slot in a 2-slot card due to the added height...

Honestly I would just slap a Zalman VF900 and be done with it in style but you should just scrounge eBay for another 6800 that has the cooler you want then salvage that. Stock coolers a most 6800s were not very good.

Heck a VF700 was better than the stock 6800

A strategically placed fan in your case could possibly cool it. If you have a spot on the side panel to mount a fan for example.

Thanks for all the ideas, I could try just placing a fan on top of the heatsink and see how that goes. If that wont fit, or doesn't work well ill have to see about buying the fan stamad linked or even going for one of those dead 6800s for the fan parts.

Sadly i cant take the geforce cover off the heatsink since the screws are stripped. Which is alright. I get my hands on one of those video fans.

Aww, man I would just grind the heads off and remove the plate. The plate isn't actually necessary, but it will cool, better with it.

You could try simply removing the plastic cover and fan from the heatsink and mount a casefan onto it?

It's what I did with one of my own 6800s and it worked flawlessly like that for years.

There's a pic of the card while installed in one of my rigs here New rigs! (first ones of a bunch)

Basicly :
You have GF 6600 GT cooling.
Try searching or replacements for it (and not 6800 cooler).

I would have taken the plate off but like i said the screws are sadly stripped. No way to take it off easily.

Also thank you man. Those are EXACTLY what im looking for. I think i am just going to go with the replacement cooler. Its only 10 bucks. I think the thing is about the fan connection on those replacement fans they are too small, if i wanted to i could just take the fan out of that cooler and still use the old school heatsink.

You have quite a few options since it just a 2 pin fan connector. When you get into 4 pin connectors you have more problems.

Buying a dead card for the whole assembly is probably the cheapest way to go.

Well that replacement cooler has the proper fan for sure.

Exactly the same fan I linked to in my post above, only twice as expensive. 😀

No, it's exactly the same connector.
