Fans for MSI GTX570

[B.K]

One of my fans on my GTX570 is not working properly so after a bit of searching I found a replacement from someone in China on eBay.

After waiting for 2 months I finally got the replacement fans today, when I went to replace the fans I found out that the new ones motors and spaces between the holes is smaller, even though the part numbers and the blade sizes are the same.

Is there anywhere in South Africa I can get fans like this?

CoreX is MSI's distributor, give them a call.

I'm not sure what you mean

This is what the card looks like: https://asset.msi.com/resize/image/....jpg62405b38c58fe0f07fcef2367d8a9ba1/1024.png

I would just build up another 5mm of material on each tab an drill new holes.

Would it not be possible to remove the fan blade/turbine arrangement from the bottom half and transplant it to the base of the one that is the correct size/shape? This is assuming the bottom half works, of course

They seem to be of a different size when looking at the side by side pic.

Well I may have a solution to your problem,I have this old card 570GTX, if the PCB and such match up it should do the trick.
