Might of been the fan that went bad in it. And for fans for a computer case just get a cooler master case and you will never lack for fan space again (my computer currently has 9 or 10 fans in it)

Yeah I have like 6 super-fans in my tower.
And Val, you sure it's broken? Maybe it's just one of your cable that's damaged or not plugged in right. Usually when a GPU fries, it's dead. Not half-dead =/
And you probably still under warranty if it's really broken.

Yeah Warranty... about that. I bought the GPU off a guy on ebay a year and a half ago So no Warranty. Well thats what baffles me. The video is distorted. The cable works because im using it for the onboard VGA. Plus Ive tried RAM issues and it aint that. There was a small possible fix online that i tried but then it stopped working. \Now when i saw I have fans they aren't the most powerful ones. But if the GPU melted it would be a corpse not half dead like you say.

Ok Cool... we can Pre-Order now... but does anyone know the actuall release date? I'm waiting for the dutch sites to update their webstore so that i can pre-order the collector's edition. But if that means i'll have to wait another 2 months before i can use it... well forget about it then.
A little more info would be nice don't you think?

Swear to god Rassy! lol
The idea behind it is that a piece of soldering on the Motherboard of the GPU has "come loose". And in order to "reflow" the board and reset the solder you have to bake it for 10 minutes at 200C/ 325F.
It works! ANd Ive tested/ stressted the card too! Amazing huh?
How is everyone? You all Pre-Ordered your SWTOR?

You cooked your card...
Wow, never heard that one before. Can't believe that worked ._.
And I didn't preorder TOR, no. There are too many other ones coming out this fall that have my attention that I don't think I'll preorder it, ever. At this rate anyway, I don't think i would even have the time to play it, although winter might prove to be more relax
