Is it safe to remove the fan on a Geforce2 Ti?

[dnbreaks]

I have a Geforce2 Ti, it's about three years old and still working
fine. I hardly play games. The fan recently started buzzing and noise
was getting to me, so I took it off leaving the bare stock heatsink.
Everything seems to be working fine as my case cooling is pretty good.

Do these Geforce2 Ti cards run hot enough that I should worry about
replacing the fan, or not bother?

If you don't game much, then I don't think you have much to worry about.
Replacing it with a card with equal value wouldn't been very expensive
anyways.

My GF2 MX doesn't even have a heat sink on there and I did heavy gaming
with it (on the GPU, I even see some spots where it started to melt, but
it still works).

Ok, thanks for the info Shinnokxz. Sounds like I'll be ok with the
just the heat sink on there.
