Dude, thanks (I gave you one) for helping me out, I would had been lost without you.

I had been using it for like 2 weeks, but it took more for them to bring it here. So the card had been bought for more that a month :cry:. How long does it normally take for the manufacturer to send it back?

Sorry to ask this, but when I request a RMA, who is going to replace my item? The shop or the manufacturer?

I'm requesting an RMA, do you guys know if they pay for the shipping back here?

Ok, so if my VRM is fried, it means my card doesn't know if its faulty or not? The light is D1603 on test machine. On my PC, no LED's are lit.

Hi guys, I tested my card on another PC, the card has 4 LED's, and it showed 1 red leg light (bottom one) on this PC, it seems it needs more power, and I tried my card last night, the first time the fan ran 100%, then I noticed it wasn't tight the main heatsink, so I reseated it and fans went...

erm guys, I recall someone on one of the replies, mentioned my card could had fried, how do I know if it's fried and where?

Alright so I'm safe for now, I will post anything if my video card works. :rockout:

I don't know what spacers are you talking about, can you please post a pic? Well I did make sure my heatsinks made contact with the VRM's and the RAM's, I thought the paste would help conduct the heat. EDIT: Oh no! lol When I meant "just the thermal paste", I was referring to the only change I...

Yeah, I covered them all with the thermal paste, I seriously don't know what happen, temps were normal, just the thermal paste..... :confused:

I can't try my card on another PC, it's at my house, I'm gonna try it tonight, I'm using Coolermaster 650W PRO

I truly doubt it's a driver issue, it doesn't even reach to POST, my MSI board tells me it stopped when it initialized the display card (through some leds).

Well the basic story is: I installed it last night, I double checked the screws on the heatsink, I took off the paste and put back heatsinks, but I only did that and I fell asleep, right now I'm working (tech/repair) and I created new thread in front of the customer, I was just trying to get...

I think it was the Artic Cooling MX-2. I used Everest, GPU-Z and Ati Tray Tools. I swear I really saw the auto-shut down thing. I think the thermal paste was non-electrical conductive and how can the BIOS be damaged? :S

Hold on, doesn't the 4870 have this magical thing that if it's too hot, it shuts down by itself, and I live in Panama just for reference.
