Hi all,

Ive got a connect3d x800xl pci express vga card (the 512 version) which has a fan on its way out, It is just under a year old so just trying to see if I can return it to get it replaced or if they can send/sell me a HSF assembly for the card. If not it looks like im in the market for a new VGA card.

I like ATI and am happy with the performance that the x800xl gave me, I dont really want to spend a vast amount of money on a new card, so Im happy for a side step on the upgrade path, any suggestions?

Thanks everyone
Dale

of course muggins here forgot that you can buy additional fans and stuff for vga cards these days, been burying my head too much for mcp!

 

Wheter you sort it out yourself or not, you shouldn't be forking out for a new card inside of a year. That's what warranties are for.

 

yeah, I've had to replace the HSF on a video card. Got an Arctic Cooling Silencer. Wasn't too difficult.
