a couple of easy questions
I have a Gigabyte 6800GT that I'm trying to salvage and use in a system
built to run Photoshop but the fan is making a very loud roaring noise which I take to mean that it will die soon. Will the card be ok in terms of heat if the fan doesn't run since I'm just running Photoshop? Or can I get replacement fans for this card?

If a video card has a fan and it doesn't work, chances are any sustained usage will bork it. Even if you don't use the rendering circuitry. So you are better off getting a replacement fan, either one of the wee ones that has the 2-pin connector to directly replace with minor surgery, or you can mount a fan to blow on the heatsink, quick ugly and effective.

a couple of easy questions
try a single drop of sewing machine oil on the bearing (may have to remove a
centre sticker to access) , usually solves it for me.

The video card WILL fry itself, if you use it at all without the fan.

Or can I get replacement fans for this card? just get a new fan for it gfx cooler don't cost that much ? photoshop will hardly push that card to it's limits it's the 3D that does that don't run it without it's fan, it will melt oh, you should be able to get a replacement cooler+fan for it or even just a fan, depends if it's a standard fan, which it prob isn't
