Hi, I’m screwed. 🙂
I’ve been getting weird pixels on my screen for the last weeks, after some research I discovered that my graphics card fan is not working at all. This probably causes the card to overheat and mess up.
And yes, its on an AGPX8 port…I obviously need some way to cool my card because right now I cant afford buying a new one. Any tips? Can the fan be replaced?
You can buy a little PCI slot fan to put right below your video card. I don’t know how much it would help if there isn’t a heatsink or a fan helping, but they aren’t that expensive (mine was about $5 after shipping from Newegg), and it could be worth a try.
I believe that Thermaltake sells OEM-style GF4 Ti fans. You could grab one of those. DO NOT buy the copper cooler. I and 3 friends have all had problems with the fan on that…not to mention that the air turbulence is terrible, and most of the air shoots back out the top. I put my OEM HSF back on and it’s running cooler and the fan isn’t acting up 🙂
Double posting incase you already checked this thread. I want to make sure you see this.
It took me some heavy searching this whole time, but I FINALLY found them.
