I was reaching in my case and the fan "bit" me.  I won this round as I was relative unscathed, however, one of the fan blades broke off.  At idle it doesn't make a difference, however, when the fan speeds up, it is obviously imbalanced and causing a ton of noise and vibration.
 
Where can I get a replacement fan for the card and what size is it?  Any recommendations for fans would be appreciated.
 
Thanks.

    I would call EVGA  @ 888-881-EVGA (3842) They're closed at the moment though (I believe).
     
    They could surely help you man.

    US Support is 24/7 so give us a call.  If the blade fell off we would have to RMA it as we don't send just the fans out.  Have your serial number handy when you call.

    I would RMA thru EVGA since the blade fell off... but FWIW the fan isn't a standard off-the-shelf component you can get etail or retail.  Alternatives would be: a new aftermarket cooler assembly; or a used one from someone who went H2O or upgraded their own aftermarket air cooler.

    Thanks for the replies.  It would be tough to manage without the card waiting on an RMA so I guess I am stuck with an aftermarket cooler.  Thanks again.

    If you scroll down a little on this thread I cover the stock fan info and possible upgrade/replacements... Not all fans are created equal or will fit as they should...
