its the fan thats ATTACHED to the video card..as i said in the post, the one that cools down the card, not the processor fan

It's probably a lot cheaper at some place other than Best Buy

If the fan fell out of the heatsink, then just pop the heatsink off and get another to replace it.

And VIDEO CARDs have the fan on the heatsink. They don't nail it into the GPU. If the fan fell out of the heatsink, then replace it. If the heatsink fell off with it, then paste it back on. Or, if you're really adamant about it, you can spend a helluva lot more on a new video card.
