Will this gpu fan (http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7166021&CatId=99) work?

According to their website it will fit. I don't know how well it will perform though. If i remember correctly, fans are F$'s department :)

$30 seems a bit to spend on repairng a 4850 these days. Maybe F$ can find you a "replacement" style fan cheaper from one of his sources???:confused::o

Went with this one to see how it works. Only $15.

Looks like that one gets some pretty good reviews, I'm wishing you the best on it! :)

Got this installed on the 4850 earlier and it seems to be running nicely aside from the fact that the thermal glue on the ram heatsinks did not hold very well. The card seems to only be running @ 50% capacity but only running at 40C so not too bad there.
