Video cards

Looking for a turbine for an ATI video card?

Good day, habracheloveki.
It's no secret that the turbines of ATI HD video cards of the 5xxx-6xxx series with turbine cooling start knocking / rattling / behaving very uncivilized after a year or two of service. As a lover of silence, I am indignant.
It is very difficult to find a similar turbine. For example, I could not find a turbine model FD9238H12S for sale for my HD6870 on the Internet (for questions on the forums, I'm not the only one). The size of the turbine in diameter is 75 mm. There are obvious solutions, but they are not suitable for the price: replacing the entire CO (an expensive pleasure, comparable in price to 50% of the card itself) or buying a non-working card with the same turbine (which will delay this problem for another year, they are unlikely to sell the turbine separately) .

So far, I have removed the casing, put an 8cm cooler on blowing onto the radiator - in idle time 40 degrees, at 100% load for more than 6 minutes the temperature goes to infinity beyond 95 degrees. Quiet, poorly cooled, occupies as many as 3 slots, a temporary solution.
What can you advise? Is it possible to find a similar turbine of better quality? Has anyone seen it for sale?

Suddenly figured out O_o It is necessary to put 2 screwdrivers inside the turbine from different sides and, pressing, squeeze out the engine with levers. Lubricated, stopped hanging out and rattling :) Thank you all for the answers.

Cheap and cheerful: disassemble and lubricate.

Disassemble, lubricate, it is possible to leave the case with relatives, and replace the motor with a stronger one from another cooler.
As an option, you can make the cooling yourself from coolers and radiators from the core. First, change the thermal paste on the radiator to a good one with a high coefficient of thermal conductivity.
