CT6810, that's a nVidia TNT2. Finding replacement fan by itself is
difficult. You can either buy an aftermarket heat sink/fan unit ($20-$30),
or remove the busted fan and zip-tie a 60 mm case fan to the heat sink.
A second-hand TNT2 is worth about $20-$30 nowadays on eBay, so buying a heat
sink for it may not be worthwhile.
