    got a radeon 9800 SE i think and it has a hell of a loud fan.
    sometimes the fan even stops causing the card to overheat and freeze the computer! its 3 years old.
    Can I get a replacement fan for it or will I have to fork out for a middle price card such as a geforce 6600gt,which i have been looking at!
    please help

    You can obatin after market coolers of which you can see a bunch here in particular this Zalman cooler lists all versions of the 9800 series as compatabile so it should be a safe buy.

    I thinks that pretty much normal they have set price delivery rates I think no matter what (or how little) is in it.

    I like to live on the wild side.

    I disconnected the fan on my ATI Radeon 9800 All-in-Wonder two years ago, and it's still working fine.

    I've done that with all my ATI Radeon cards to date without any problems, but I think I'd draw the line at doing he same with something like an x800.

    Maybe your heat problems are more case/cpu related?
