ZM-80D-HP for 9600.

But again I need a free pci slot under the card.

Found a uk seller for the ZM50-HP. Zalmans site says its suitable for it's suitable ATI Radeon 7000, 7200, 7500 or slower chipset.

So does that mean it's not suitable for mine? I am completely dumb when it comes to graphics cards, really, shockingly. So Will it be suitable for mine? I know its probably not going to be as simple as 'because 9600 is higher that 7500 it's not suitable'

I have a radeon 9600 256mb graphics card and the fan on it is making some shocking noises.

Can I replace the fan or do I need to buy a new card? I'm imagining I can get a replacement fan from ebay if it can be replaced.

Thanks

Take off the fan and clean it with a fine brush such as a used toothbrush.

I tried that a few days back. Still making shocking noise.
