After 3 years of constant work my GPU faced the first problem .The front fan broke and I was wondering where can I find a replacement, also none of the retail shops here in greece have one so yeah out of ideas :).
Thank you for your time.

    Welcome to the forums.
     
    If it's under warranty, which I suspect it is not, set up an RMA..RMA and warranty information can be found in the stickies in the EVGA Warranty Questions section of the forums..If it's not under warranty, you could get something like an Artic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo II..The MOSFETs need to be cooled but the VRAM chips don't, so if you get an aftermarket cooler, make sure it has heatsinks for those.
     
    If it's not under warranty, and me being me, I would either disconnect the wires that go to the broken fan at the fan header by removing the connector pins that go to it, or just cut the things so the fan don't run..Then see how it works and leave it be if it's OK..Having two fans would not be necessary if the GPU temperature is acceptable (below 80C under load)..The one remaining fan might need to work harder and be more loud, don't know..GTX 760 ACX disassembly shown here.

    Thanks for the informative reply. I think I will go to an aftermarket cooler as you said cause the one fan that works goes to full rpm and I can't change the speed through evga application.
    Thanks again .
