I'm scared. My back fan got stopped because of a wire, and it was caught for about 6 hours, and I just realized it. The GPU seems very hot, and 6 hours of the computer left on with only 1 fan working, is that good?
oh noes

It's still working.
That's usually evidence that everything is OK.
I locked my fanspeed at 25% and played some Borderlands, my card started revving up and slowing back down again. Turns out it was hitting 100+c and I didn't know about it. It's still alive, but it squeals in games like there's no tomorrow. Ah well.

Load up Precision http://www.evga.com/precision/ or Afterburner http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm That way you'll have a better gauge than "seems hot".

You should be fine. It would have crashed if anything overheated. Look at it this way, many computers only have 1 fan.
