I need to replace the fan to halt the system crashes, right? Or do I just need to keep the processor running cool? Could I possibly use an adjacent PCI fan? Does the fan have to be connected to the video card for the card to recognize that it can be running?|||If your card is under warranty, you can always contact the manufacturer and arrange for a replacement.
And if it is out of warranty, yes, you can indeed replace the video card cooling fan. Newegg has a huge selection of aftermarket graphics card heatsink/fans available: http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.…
For the 8600GT, I recommend the Zalman VF700. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
Hope this helps.
EDITED TO ADD: You don't plug the Zalman VF700 into your video card. You either plug the VF700 into a motherboard 3-pin fan header if there is one available, or into a PSU 4-pin Molex using the included adapter.|||Yes, it should stop thermally-induced crashes. Good luck.
