Radeon 8500 fan replacement options

[Frozen]

Hello,

I have an old Radeon 8500 graphics card and the fan has gone out it. I would
like to try and find a replacement fan or something inexpensive to keep this
GC going for a bit longer. Any suggestions on a fan that might work or
passive cooling system that might work as well.

Thanks for the advice.

My Radeon 8500DV uses the original ATI "Adda" brand chip cooler which the
local Adda agent can supply at a low cost. I emailed ATI about it and sent
in the old fan on an RMA and they sent me a new Chip cooler F.O.C. -
complete with fan. I then unscrewed the new fan and used it to replace the
noisey one.
