plug it into some power 
or put it in your rig and power it up, see if the fan comes on

QUOTE (RMA @ Feb 6 2010, 01:22 AM) My only regrets are:
Selling Fudd an amp (for a fraction of the real price) that had been returned by Autobarn Geelong which had been incorrectly used by AB Geelong and turned out to be faulty when Fudd started using it.
Whilst he was given a new amp after it could not be fixed, he never acknowledged any of the assistance given and bitches to this day about it.

get a cheap after market cooler or cable tie a 80mm fan to the card blowing onto the heatsink
Setup:

JBL GTO 608C 6.5" Splits
Bonecrusher 2 4000w rms @ 1 ohm 12v

First, try disconnecting the stock fans cable from the graphics card, an using a pair of thin speaker wires, connect it to say a 12v battery. If it doesn't work, it's stuffed, if it does you might be able to go to a swap meet and grab a few spare wires to connect to the motherboard's fan outputs.
Back in the day when the tiny fans would seize up or fail to cool the card, you could grab an old AMD CPU heatsink and put it on the graphics card. All you needed was a little thermal paste, and to drill a hole in the CPU heatsink to line up with the card's mounting holes.
New ones are harder to do, you might have to remove the stock one, and either cable tie or bolt it on.

sweet, sounds like a good idea thanks.
If this dont work, do most computer stores sell replacement fans or would it be more involved?

They're like car CD players.
Some are just a standard size and you can swap the original out for a different, better brand.
More likely, it's some sort of fancy moulded heatsink and you'll struggle to find one that will fit.
Most of the time, though, an aftermarket one will fit with a bit of persuasion.
Question, though.... is it just seized?
Does it spin freely when you flick the blades with your finger?

it does move, but it could move more freely.

It might be seized just enough to stop it from spinning when power is applied.
Usually the fan will have a sticker on the back of it.
Peel that off, carefully so you can put it back, and spray a little bit of lubricant on the axle.
Spin it around a couple of dozen times with your finger, and it should loosen up a bit.
Try it with power again.

I would have thought a GFX card fan would be 5V or 3.3V

They vary, but most are 12v IIRC.

Voltage varys depending on rpm's to the fan, ranges from 0v to 12v depending on temperatures and load. I honestly would just cable tie an 80mm fan to it and be done with it, that's what i did with my 9600GT when the fan stopped working and it's still going today no problems (actually decreased load temps by 7c)
