GeForce FX 5200 Ultra fan

[silentbobdrummer]

The fan on my PNY GeForece FX 5200 Ultra video card is not working. The card has power and when i took the card out, the fan is very hard to spin. Any quick (any possibly cheap) fixes that I can do?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also is there a utility for that card that can monitor the card's temperature?

If the card isn't under warranty then you'll have to replace the fan yourself.
For a 5200 this one will do the job : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835110102

Thanks for the Link, I'll look into that if I can't get anywhere with PNY.

Is there a way I can test the temp so I know what its running at?

What utilities came with your motherboard and what monitoring utilities came with you video card?

What utilities came with your motherboard and what monitoring utilities came with you video card?
my motherboard utility is the ASUS Probe, which monitors the MB temps and CPU temps and the only video card utility is the NVIDIA utility.

Go here and get NVTweak : http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=911

It works with the nVidia control panel settings and you can set a temperature alarm (or read temperatures).
It's a safe bet though that a video card with a dead fan is going to overheat.
