I have an Asus DUAL-GTX1060-06G. One blade snapped off. It is out of warranty. I am somewhat confident with taking it apart, although I have never done it before.

I was wondering if anyone could help me find a replacement fan that is the proper size and specs. Any advice on how to take it apart and resemble it safely would be greatly appreciated.

I was also thinking about replacing the thermal paste since I am going to take it apart anyway.

My final question is it ok to play games on it in the meantime. I have read that a missing fan blade throws the fan off balance and can reduce the life of the bearings. Since I plan on replacing the fan entirely that is fine. I just don't want to harm the GPU it's self in any way as they are expensive and hard to come by these days.

This is the model. Even the box is the same.

Thank you for your time and consideration for reading this post.
