Hey Karas,
What kind of card do you have and how old is it? I've found out that most card makers have great customer service, especially when it comes defective parts on their boards. I had an ATI card and the fan went bad and they sent me a brand new fan PLUS the heatsink that went with it. No charge at all. I just simply sent them an email that said my fan had stopped working and they mailed me a new one.
Like Coz, I've been building computers for years and I've found out that a lot of companies will send you free parts (like fans, heat sinks, etc) that go bad. They are less likely to send you a complete replacement, but small parts are usually a go.
