XFX 8800GT has no adjustable fan?

[mk_ln]

Hi, I recently got 2 XFX 8800GTs (alpha dog edition) and noticed that the fan speeds are not adjustable.

After reading around, and even here http://www.bjorn3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20984, it seems that this is a common issue. Some people are RMAing their cards, where some are getting replacement fans from XFX. My question is which route would be the quickest?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

my versions of 8800GT are the YHF4.

Call XFX and see if they will cross ship to you.

It's not an defect, they're not supposed to have fan speed control. I have the Alpha dog same as you but I'm using a vf900 running off a mobo header so it's not a problem for me.
