I'm looking to purchase a non-working (can be totally dead) MSI TFII GTX 465 GE/GTX 470 or just the heatsink w/ fan for it (must have at least 1 working fan, VRM/VRAM heatsink and all screws). My reference GTX 470 needs an aircooler, but i don't want an Artic cooler due to them being 3-slots.

Any working TFII cooler is good, but a GTX 465 GE HSF is preferred.

I might also be interested in a working card if the price is right.

Shoot me your offers via PM.

The GTX 460 has the same issues as the GTX 560 (see above).

The GTX 470 was pretty much a unique design, and no other card adopted it (i wouldn't have this problem if it had a more common design). The 480, 570, 580 and even the 560 Ti 448 had a very similar PCB, and lower cards were vastly different.

If just the fans are broken on the card, I know a lot of sellers on the ebay have replacement fans listed, some may be overseas though. As per rules i am not linking any of them or making any offers. Just thought i would throw that out there for you.

Yeah, might have to consider that, the heatsink is the hardest part to find anyways. I can always get other fans and mod the cooler slightly as well, I am not against that.

at the price some sellers want for OEM heatsinks you would be better off getting an arctic cooling twin turbo or something. would be quieter anyway...

edit: just re-read the bit about your opposition to arctic cooling, sorry bud.
