Removing fan from GF2GTS
Hi!
I have an old GF2GTS card witha dying fan on, the sound it makes is driving me nuts. Now I wonder how dangerous it would be to my gfx card if I dissconnceted it? Best Wishes Thomas

Best Wishes Thomas might not be dangerous to you, but probably terminal for the poor GTS, which in turn would become a burden on your wallet.

I disabled the fan on my GF2 GTS because, as with the original poster, the fan had become noisy over time despite cleanings. Couldn't overclock quite as high, but the noise reduction was worth that tradeoff for me at the time. -Slash -- "Ebert Victorious" -The Onion
