| Captain_Yuri said: Loll. Well, technically, I got two 970s but thats cause one of their's cooler broke due to my liquid cooler leaking so if I can replace the cooler, the video card can work again. And I know this cause the gpu itself works, but the fans don't spin, even under load T_T so I am hoping that in the future, I can find a cooler or something and maybe SLI it. |
What's defective, the fans or the socket on the PCB where they're plugged in? You could use an adapter and plug the fans into the motherboard if they're not damaged.
I doubt that you can buy the fans separately without an entire cooler.
There are third-party coolers, even some older ones work because the hole spacing is the same since the GTX 580 (and a GTX 970 doesn't generate more heat). But you have to inform yourself if it's the reference design or not (length etc.). I know that some models have a separate heatsink for the voltage converters, but I'm not sure if they all have that (it's important that they're properly cooled).
I'm not sure if I used the correct English terms, lol.
