changing the fan on my gf4

[Kush]

well it finally came off, we had to saw it off! but my gfx card kinda is dead, it boots and shows alot of 0's along with what is supposed to be displayed, and doesnt go into windows, is there anything i can do with it? like sell it to a place that uses damaged stuff, or anything? i mean i just bought this fan for like 20 bucks and i have no use for it!

Sorry to hear about the dead card bro, BTW you could have just poured alchol on it, won't hurt the board. As far as places that buy dead stuff, no idea.

i did man but it wouldnt come off, i think they put glue not thermal paste. it wouldnt come off even with alcohol after i took the fan off. so anyways its gay. i wanna sue them for being dumb and not putting a proper heatsink. it was stuck on and had no pins so i could just take it off.

Yea, I hear ya, it took me over 2 hrs to get mine removed, it was a slow and frushtrating process. I have to agree though, I don't know what type of thermal compound they used but it was more like a liquid cement than a thermal paste, and on my card a large portion of the center of the GPU wasn't even making contact with the heatsink, so I was glad I replaced it.
