I have the REV A dual 1.8 G5 with a 9800 Pro 128 in it.
Fan is on its last legs and id rather just buy a better card.
anyone have any card compatible with my G5?

replacing the fan is dead easy, it's not glued hard you need to do is pop it off and snap on a replacement that you can pick up at fry's for like 15 bucks.

all radeons use the same mounting, just look for one that says 9800 on the box, just dont get an arctic cooling cooler they need modifications to fit.

i been looking for anything that fits the ATI mount, and all I ever see is the Arctic which as you know doesnt fit well into a G5 (how stupid, on either Apple or Arctics part eh?)
Can you actually find fans/heatsinks made generically for an ATI card?
