I replaced my 7800gt HSF with a watercooling one. Fitted it fine and installed it into my pc. I ran it for about 10 mins, then realised that my pump was failing. The waterwas hardly going round. I had to resort back to air cooling. I refitted the stock HSF and now when I start it I get artifacts straight away, even in the bios. Is it knackered or fixable???
Have you got the thermal compound between the HSF and GPU? and is it all back on properly (does it wiggle at all?)
Chances are that you damaged the GPU.
Yes everything is on right:Oops: :Oops: , can I rma it??? :P
You could make up a story that a chronic pc modder broke into ur house and modded ur 7800 then ran off.. when u turned it on.. it screws up.. voila... :pQuote:

Its an xfx card and I got it from scan, does it make a difference?
ripping the stock heat sink off already voids warranty.. sticking it back again wont make a difference.. and there are pletny of Scan ppl hanging around HEXUS, so I suggest you don't try any brave lie attempts... ehehe
Just noticed that one of the components is ever so slightly chipped ( See attachment ) Where can I get another one of these?
Looks like some kind of mosfet to me, I doubt a very minor chip on it would hurt it.
Gonna need the numbers off of it, if any, to find a useable repalcement if it is bad.
Numbers on it are
521 B34
Or
521 1334
Cant tell wether its a b or a 13
