Hi,
 
I've had my card for a few years now, performance is fine, but the fans have gone. Started getting really loud under load, then heavy clicking and upon inspection some of the blades on the fans have snapped off after coming in contact with the protective housing on the case of the fans. When I used Precision to gradually raise the RPM one of the fans became stuck in the housing, leading to an incredibly quick shutdown! 
 
Anyway, I don't know if EVGA will be able to help me (all registered and logged for the 10 year warranty but IDK). In any case, does anyone know where I can get some cheap replacement fans that will fit with minimal fuss? The card, heatsink, fan casing are all intact and working...just the fans 
 
It's been an absolutely brilliant card, and in a few months I'll probably upgrade to a newer EVGA card, but don't have the cash at the minute, so anything to breathe a bit of extra life into my 560 would be fantastic!
 
P.S I'm in the UK so would want something that can be shipped here without too much cost.
 
Thanks in advance!

    You could warranty it, and they will take care of you.

    It is really hard to find fans as replacements only, unless you can find someone with a dead card that you can cannibalize and steal parts from.

    Can I still warranty it? Got it a few years ago. And some of the fins on the fans have snapped off (although that was due to the actual fans going)?
     
    I sent a message to support anyway, so hopefully that legendary EVGA customer service will come to my rescue! (really wanna play GTA V )

    One of my fins broke off and EVGA replaced the card under an RMA (Warranty) Cost to me was only shipping to EVGA.
