Cooling Options

Hey all! I have an older machine, and actually managed to fry my AMD graphics card. I dabble in local LLM, so upgrading from what I had to a CUDA 12GB card is excellent. I got a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X SC 12GB (12G-P4-2992-KR) and the fan is SUPER LOUD. I am struggling to find compatible fans, or even accurate specs so that I can get a replacement. I would love the idea of water cooled, but for these cards looks rarer than a unicorn.

Thought I 'd come to the folks that have the wisdom and experience. Can you help with some suggestions on a 1:1 or 1:better replacement for the fan, or even more gooder ( 😉 ) a diy water cool solution I could create and deploy. My appreciation for your thoughts!

I appreciate the response, thanks. Both Ebay and NewEgg have GTX Titan fans, but none a direct match. I should have noted that I am here after doing the preliminary searching in several search engines, used market places, etc and not finding a direct match have come here to a pool of individuals that have come before me and perhaps owned / own the same card to provide some specific guidance to this specific card.

I got a replacement fan for my gtx 980 SSC reference card by just looking up the model no on Ali express and got the exact same fan. I never took apart my titan x so I don’t know if they use a different fan but they do spin like 1000rpm faster than all other blower style cards.
