You can try Amazon to get replacement fans for your specific card.
I got some replacement fans a couple of weeks ago for my XFX RX580 GTS for €17,75 (abt US$20) and they work great.

On aliexpress, these fans cost $ 7-8. The only problem is the quality of these fans, because they break down within 6 months.
If there are good quality fans in your country, OK.
But the original fans were installed to me only after contacting an authorized service center.


Where I live got the fans within 2 days from amazon, AliExpress would have probably taken 2 to 89 weeks. Sofar working fine, how long they will last don't know.

Did the replacing myself was dead easy had to disasemble it completely ( abt. 8 screws) and repaste at the same time. Those XFX cards are really easy to take apart.
The job of replacing the fans is not a difficult task.
I started having problems after 3 months, and after 6 months I threw out most of those fans.
I hope you are more fortunate, because you will find out about the quality of the fans in a few months.


Quality of these fans remains to be seen but that is with most thing. You can collect your brand new car from the garage drive away and have a breakdown about a hundred meters away so quality doesn't say everything and by the the way I wish all who read this A Very Good And Properous New Year  Smiley

I ordered for GPU fans online all the way from China and after two weeks I got them delivered to my door the fans works just as the ones I removed from the GPU, this will make the GPU look cleaner as new than you just working some random fan on the GPU

My Vega 56 GPU fan start running as if it's going to fall off this morning and I don't have a spare one around, I do have a dead Vega card with me but not same brand as the working one I'm confused if the fan will work well on the working Vega 56

Custom board or reference? if is reference the fans are the same...

Every fans on GPUs can be easily replaced by ordering for the exact one that got spoilt, don't go around and work a fan that's not for the GPU cos that will bring you headache later on

Fans for video cards have a lot of different models, which differ in the way they are attached to the radiator (holes are in another place Smiley) The voltage is the same. If the temperature of the video card suits you, then use this method. I install 2-3 fans 80x80 from 0.20A on the radiator

If they're both reference models, you're good to go.

They are both Vega 56 so it should work, first check the size and carefully remove the bad one I'm sure it will work, I've changed fan on GPU by just removing it from a bad GPU and replace with a working GPU it's on hd7970 and it works until I sold it off

Some brands use the same board. The only way to check if it fits is to see if the mounting lines up right and to try mounting it. If it not fits you will notice it soon enough.
