Video card fan?

I have a Sparkle GeForce 8600 GT / 512MB DDR2 / SLI Ready / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / HDTV / Video Card and the fan sounds like it's slowly dying. I've went to Microcenter and they didn't have a replacement fan for it and he told me to look online. I don't know what to look for exactly. I have taken the card apart and got the fan out, cleaned it and it still makes noise and hardly spins.

What the heck is it called or where can I find it?

Here is more details about the card.

PLEASE HELP. I don't want my card to overheat.|||just buy a fan with the same measurements.

You can contact Sparkle, they may sell you one



I have heard that by removing the fans and giving them a liberal soaking with wd-40, then cleaning them so no residue gets inside the computer, that you can greatly extend the life of a failing fan.
