ReNeGaDe says:

BIKeINSTEIN says:

ReNeGaDe says:
nothing
BIKeINSTEIN says:
or move to another level with intensive gfx
ReNeGaDe says:
it happened in between game
BIKeINSTEIN says:
uh oh
ReNeGaDe says:
and now the game isnt even loading
BIKeINSTEIN says:
did u advance to another level?
ReNeGaDe says:
i shows the video and all but the start menu is absent
ReNeGaDe says:
choppy
ReNeGaDe says:
nope gta sa has no levels
BIKeINSTEIN says:
ok
ReNeGaDe says:
it is just one big city
BIKeINSTEIN says:
actually i dont know
BIKeINSTEIN says:
but i hope its not temps <---:rofl:
BIKeINSTEIN says:
or psu probs
ReNeGaDe says:
i am hoping it is temps
ReNeGaDe says:
so i just rebooted after a while lets see
BIKeINSTEIN says:
ur card must be atleast 2yrs old?
ReNeGaDe says:
of course
BIKeINSTEIN says:
shut down for 10 mins
BIKeINSTEIN says:
reboot
BIKeINSTEIN says:
retry
BIKeINSTEIN says:
if it happens ingame, its mostly temps
BIKeINSTEIN says:
is it passive cooled or active
ReNeGaDe says:
well the fan doesnt work anymore, its jammed <--------:rofl:
BIKeINSTEIN says:
wth
BIKeINSTEIN says:
then temps most prolly
ReNeGaDe says:
it does rotate if i push it a bit
BIKeINSTEIN says:
stop playing/using
BIKeINSTEIN says:
get new fan or aim an 80mm fan at it
ReNeGaDe says:
alright it is temps
ReNeGaDe says:
now its fine? it working again?
ReNeGaDe says:
ill just place a fan underneath it
BIKeINSTEIN says:
after u shut down?
ReNeGaDe says:
yes
BIKeINSTEIN says:
oh my Ren
ReNeGaDe says:
yeah
BIKeINSTEIN says:
do u want ur gpu to die
ReNeGaDe says:
well i have been running it like this for a year now <----------:O
ReNeGaDe says:
BIKeINSTEIN says:
chk on TE
BIKeINSTEIN says:
if some one has spare fan for ur gfx card or can mail a new one to you
ReNeGaDe says:
hehe ill just make some temp arrangement
ReNeGaDe says:
cant i oil the fan or something
BIKeINSTEIN says:
but it runs nonstops after push start na
ReNeGaDe says:
it works just that it is kinda jammed
ReNeGaDe says:
yes
BIKeINSTEIN says:
you can oil it
BIKeINSTEIN says:
for that u have to take out the fan w/o taking out hsf
BIKeINSTEIN says:
if it allows
ReNeGaDe says:
i know
BIKeINSTEIN says:
normally fans can be taken out
BIKeINSTEIN says:
on the back is a sticker
ReNeGaDe says:
man its hot
BIKeINSTEIN says:
peel it off partly using a blunt knife
ReNeGaDe says:
arre it has screws
BIKeINSTEIN says:
not now, when it cools down
ReNeGaDe says:
so i can take it out
ReNeGaDe says:
its in my hands
BIKeINSTEIN says:
:O
BIKeINSTEIN says:
let it cool
BIKeINSTEIN says:
u need to take fan out
ReNeGaDe says:
cool now
BIKeINSTEIN says:
peel sticker partly w/o removing completely
BIKeINSTEIN says:
in the centre there is a hole
BIKeINSTEIN says:
where u can see the sleeve bearing fan shaft
BIKeINSTEIN says:
if u got small syringe like insulin one, put one very tiny drop of machine oil
BIKeINSTEIN says:
the thin, penetrating machine oil for sewing machines and like
BIKeINSTEIN says:
then slowly rotate fan blade in direction of rotation with ur finger
BIKeINSTEIN says:
to let oil seep and spread
ReNeGaDe says:
i dont have that oil
BIKeINSTEIN says:
put sticker back, again rotate few times, fit
BIKeINSTEIN says:
and it should work <-------------------:rofl:
BIKeINSTEIN says:
and dont overtighten screw into hsf
BIKeINSTEIN says:
or threads will be bust
ReNeGaDe says:
abe i dont have oil
BIKeINSTEIN says:
u will have to get that oil
ReNeGaDe says:
cant i use coconut oil <-----:rofl:
ReNeGaDe says:
lol
BIKeINSTEIN says:
i dont think coconut or any edible oil is suitable for hi rpm stuff
BIKeINSTEIN says:
it wont penetrate and become gooey later, crapping fan totally
ReNeGaDe says:
its not high rpm, i have seen it rotate
ReNeGaDe says:
BIKeINSTEIN says:
for its size, its hi rpm
BIKeINSTEIN says:
lol
BIKeINSTEIN says:
and its slow coz u must have never oiled it in ur life
BIKeINSTEIN says:
do u even clean it?
BIKeINSTEIN says:
ReNeGaDe says:
nope
ReNeGaDe says:
never
BIKeINSTEIN says:
u dont dust off with small brush? fan and hsf?
ReNeGaDe says:
its a damn 30mm fan
BIKeINSTEIN says:
so
BIKeINSTEIN says:
new gpus are not so robust as olden days <-----:ashamed:
ReNeGaDe says:
gee
ReNeGaDe says:
thanks man
ReNeGaDe says:
now its moving as if its on steroids
BIKeINSTEIN says:
u used coconut oil? <--------------:rofl:
BIKeINSTEIN says:
:O
ReNeGaDe says:
heheh
ReNeGaDe says:
yes
BIKeINSTEIN says:
this goes into AIDW
BIKeINSTEIN says:
ReNeGaDe says:
hehe
ReNeGaDe says:
but i am surprised the fan coil did not burn up till now
ReNeGaDe says:
it wasnt even moving for so many months
ReNeGaDe says:
well its working fine now.. isnt that important
BIKeINSTEIN says:
i am worried how long <-------
BIKeINSTEIN says:
i mean i dont know how good that coconut ouil will be and how long will it last
ReNeGaDe says:
shut up
ReNeGaDe says:
ok
BIKeINSTEIN says:
ok, praying for you as usual
ReNeGaDe says:
BIKeINSTEIN says:
coconut oil may vaporise in that heat <-------:ashamed:
BIKeINSTEIN says:
and kaput fan
BIKeINSTEIN says:
it may act as fuel, blazing gpu
BIKeINSTEIN says:
ROFL
ReNeGaDe says:
stfu
BIKeINSTEIN says:
blazing fast
BIKeINSTEIN says:
it blazes
BIKeINSTEIN says:
u run fast <-----------------------
hyeah:
ReNeGaDe says:
the machine oil has kerosene in it
BIKeINSTEIN says:
no
ReNeGaDe says:
if that doesnt burn why would this
BIKeINSTEIN says:
i dont think so
BIKeINSTEIN says:
maye its some thin oil with high flash point
ReNeGaDe says:
whatever
ReNeGaDe says:
worst that happens is that oil gets stuck
ReNeGaDe says:
if it inst thin enough
BIKeINSTEIN says:
i dont know
ReNeGaDe says:
man my frame rate has doubled <-------------:rofl:
ReNeGaDe says:
maybe i should tell this to kaputboy
BIKeINSTEIN says:
lol
ReNeGaDe says:
he wanted better fps from his X1900XTX
BIKeINSTEIN says:
all should go into AIDW
ReNeGaDe says:
hehehe
BIKeINSTEIN says:

BIKeINSTEIN says:

BIKeINSTEIN says:
