Is there a certain recommendation for a replacement fan?

Zalman has an excellent reputation for cooling solutions.
Here are their VGA cooling fans:

Doulble check that you have the PSU connected to your card though. It may have simply come loose (although I think the fan would still spin, it's worth checking).

Hi natakurave
For cooling purposes, it should be moving all the time.

I cleaned out my whole tower today and took out my video card, it seemed to spin fine with my finger >< but anyways I cleaned out the whole thing with some compressed air.
I put it back in, carefully, and inserted the 4 pin wire thing back in, the same one that was in there in the first place, made 100% sure it was in and in good. but sadly it still wont spin. Is it possible because i have too many junks connected?
I have, 4 fans going, 2 harddrives, 2 drives, 500w supply
but anyways, on the Zalman site how do i know which ones would work with my card ><? or any of them would work? thanks a lot for the help so far!!

Thanks so much! I hope it will work when i install it seeing that I'm not sure if the fan itself ever worked, had it about almost for a year now. The product looks pretty good.

It is pretty easy to tell if your graphics card is overheating. You get artifacts on the screen while gaming within the first few minutes, and without a fan blowing, your card would most certainly overheat and quickly.
Actually, if I am not mistaken, the 9800XT does have a heat sensor on it. The 9800 pro doesn't (I know that for sure) but I believe the 9800XT does.
If you are wanting to check your temps, download and install this program:

If I am right about your VGA having a heat sensor, you'll be able to see your temps using that software.
Highly unlikely that your card's fan has been broken for too long.

ATI Tool is really good too, it can also start a 3D view window that maxes out the GPU...
