Title: Aftermarket Fan for GTS 450?
Post by: karmasuture on January 05, 2011, 05:33:28 pm

I recently purchased this:

GIGABYTE GV-N450-1GI GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

I am happy with the card's performance in most areas, but I would like to add a quieter, faster,  led lit fan.
Will typical VGA fans fit? If not, what can I use?

Thank you.

As far as I know they are not reference cards and as such you will have to be carefull when purchasing any aftermarket cooling solution. I would advise you to PM runn3R to get the exact size as I am afraid I don't have them for that card.

Ok. Sent runn3R a message. Maybe he will know. Any locations on where I might get the standard measurements for vga coolers? That way I can go picking apart my card and measure it....

I would guess that nVidia would be the place to find out the reference cards sizes.
