hi all TPUers,
in short, i have a damage 5970 (physicaly) please see pict.. (please don't ask how/why its happend, i don't know)
it has broken lock, some damage PCIE slot, & one damage componenent (near the broken lock) (i don't know what it is? resistor / or else? plase help, let me know)
i tested it using PCIE extender, (i am still affraid to put this card directly to my mainboard PCIE slot)
the strange things or funny things is.. the card is still able to boot into windows. (W7)
and did succeed some 3d test. like kombustor, and 3d game bench like dirt3 & RE5. (Catalyst 12.10)
GPUZ is normal. temp is normal (idle 55~60C, 100%load 75~80C) i think for this dual GPU
please note: that i only test it once for all. then put it back uninstall again, until i know more detail / sure about this damage could do further.
so what should i do? is ther any way to repair the "resistor" or waht component that is broken?
or is it save to continue using it, but with pre-caution.
and what pre-caution should i note if i continue using this card?
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks & cheers
