A GeForce 440mx should run fine with just a heatsink. Most of the budget
cards of that variety available these days don't have fans, just
heatsinks. Look around for online retailers that have images of their
products - it's pretty obvious which cards have fans and which don't.
You could also try to just remove the fan and leave the bottom heatsink
and see what happens - those sinks aren't as good as sinks that are
designed for no-fan operations, but depending on air-flow, it may work.
