WTB: Nvidia TI4200/4400/4600 HS and Fan..

lemonlime

Hi Everyone,

I just got an Asus Geforce 4 TI4200 with a toasted fan. Card works great, but gets incredably hot running passively. I'd really prefer not to ghetto mount anything, as it's for my server machine, and needs to run 24/7 in fairly warm conditions.

Does anyone have an old dead TI4200/TI4400/TI4600/TI4800 that I could take the HSF off of? I'd need both the heatsink and the fan for it to fit properly. A Quadro 4 should be ok too, I think it uses the same size sink. If you have any old aftermarket coolers that would fit a ti4200 that would be fine too (I think they made a silencer for it at one time)..

I'll pay for all shipping costs and throw in a couple dollars as well..

Thanks very much..

Winga

Thanks for the links Winga.. Unfortunatly, being in Canada, my ebay choices are somewhat limited. Some of these cards are making me wonder if its cheaper just to buy another working card

I'm keeping an eye on an OEM replacement HSF for a TI4600 on ebay, only $4US, but I need to find out if the seller will ship to Canada

aah my friend I see you have the same problem as I do.
You try convincing a complete stranger to ship goods to Africa and see how far you get

I have found on some occasions it boils down to education. Some people has never tried to ship internationaly and are ignorant or wary of the procedures.
Others have had their fingers burnt and just won't go down that road.

I hope you have a sucessful bid mate

Thanks Winga, I got in touch with the seller, and he's willing to ship to Canada, but hes going to get back to me on shipping costs. With my luck it'll be $4.99US for the HSF and $29.99 for shipping :shakehead

I feel your pain, although quite a few US sellers are ok selling to Canada when you ask them. I'm sure the chances are much worse when talking about overseas.
