Hi,

My PNY GeforceFX 5200 128mb AGP video card's fan is dying so I bought another fan but I don't know how to install it. The fan also comes with memory heatsinks and I don't know how to install them. (the fan came with no instructions) Here is the link for the fan: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-116-008&depa=0
thanks,
MOHAA

1-You have two little clip behind your video card.Remove them.

2-Now try to remove your old cooler.
P.S The cooler is probaly stick on the chipset but go ahead it's just some thermal glue.

3.With your cooler you have probaly some thermal paste.If yes put this paste on the video chipset.Put a little bit of the thermal paste NOT ALL THE TUBE.

4-After fit your hole of cooler with the hole of card and replace the clip.
