Out of curiosity what is gauge wire does the stock cooler use? I need to know the gauge of the wire, and yes I know a larger gauge wire will work. The wire on my stock cooler was broken, and I need to RMA the card. The card died in a completely covered way, the stock cooler breaking had nothing to do with it, it happened awhile after it had been replaced, through an improper storage.
Please, tell me what gauge wire this is, so that I can replace it and send my card back :(

See the fan wire that connects to the 3 pin connector on the card? What size wire is that? I need to replace it with wire that is the same size as the original, so that I can RMA the card.

Wires are classified by size (diameter) into "gauges" Link -> http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm
I'm trying to figure out what gauge wire the VGA fan wire (that connects to the 3 pin connector on the PCB) is. So that I can order some of it, because mine is broken. Its easier to find wire by classification, because I cannot find it locally. In order to order it online, I need the wire gauge, otherwise I have no idea what size to order.
In order to RMA the card I need the original wire gauge, simply because i'm afraid they'll try to say I broke the card, when in reality I did not.
