So my GTX 970 popped a fan blade and its vibrating like crazy. My ability to purchase a new GPU is out of the question and at current estimate it's not economical to send it it for repair. I watched some videos and of course, LTT shows up with some crazy looking mod where he straps some static pressure fans to a GPU with cable ties. As my GPU is obviously out of warranty is this mod worth attempting?
 
The current parts I'm looking at right now are 
 
- Thermaltake Riing 12 Series Red High Static Pressure 120mm Circular LED Ring Case/Radiator Fan with Anti-Vibration Mounting System Cooling CL-F038-PL12RE-A

- Evercool Twister Fan Speed Controller PCI Slot or 3.5"

- 3-Pin Female to 4 x 3-Pin Male Computer Case Fan Splitter Power Connector Black Sleeved Adapter Cable

     I'm sure Thermaltake are good fans but I like Nocutra fans as they have a 6 year warranty (they also cost 2x as much).
