Hi mates,
I have this graphic card more than 1 year and I have no reason to perform an upgrade (I don´t play games and even if I do, I don´t need to have high resolution, my PC is for school and internet)
I am trying to make this PC quiet, but I am worried about my graphic card.
This is my rig
AMD Athlon64 3200+ AC Freezer64 PRO
ASUS A8N-E nForce4Ultra Zalman NB47J
Sapphire ATi x700 PCI-e Zalman VF700-AlCu
120GB SATA Seagate
LG 4167B DVD rewriter
TechniSat SkyStar2 2.6d PCI SAT card
SeaSonic S-12 380W
120mm intake and outtake fan
Samsung 940BW connected via DVI
if I slow down my Fans everything works fine until some part of my VGA overheats
I don´t get screen corruption like artifacting, but screen just turns black
when speed up my intake fan, the overheated part cools down and LCD turns on and show what it should show
Slowing intake fan again causes LCD to go blank (black screen) and anning same fresh air to VGA causes it to run correctly
Today it happened again because I slowed dow my intake fan
I blew some fresh air from my mouth (without saliva of course) and screen turned on for a few seconds, then went black. Another blow and again screen showed what it should show
Then I blew air only to upper side of VGA´s PCB (the side that has no GPU, side opposite to GPU) and screen worked.
So I think something on the upper side of VGA´s PCB is overheating.
I posted some photos of my VGA and I hope you could tell me which part might be overheating
I have some little passive coolers which I cut from an old BOX CPU cooler
I think if I put them on right chips, it might solve my problem
GPU is not overclocked and temp is around 28°C-30°C in idle (22°C in my room) and I don´t know what temps are at load because it is still in 2D in windows so I don´t think it would be very high
GDDR are quite cold (no OC, no volt mods, no passive coolers) so I think it is maybe a mosfet or something like that
I can also upload some photos of my motherboard but I think it is a VGA issue, not the MoBo´s
PSU is OK
thanks for help
