Can try using a cable tie and mounting a casing fan onto it.

Show us a pic of your 'broken' gfx fan?

Perhaps you can try removing the fan power cable to stop it from spinning and like what cKm said attach with a case fan

Something like below:

You take out the plastic thing right? Underneath got the metal heatsink? U just cable tie on top. Across the back of the card in X shape through the screw hole of the fan. Go behind the card. Can use two cable tie attached to one another as one may not be long enough.

Got a similar discussion here: EggXpert - GTS 250 Aftermarket Fan Options? Thanks in advance

However, not sure whether those fans are easily available for retail in Singapore.
