Help with 4870x2 cooler

Donnerstag, 2. April 2009, 22:57

Hello,

I have bought the Radeon 4870 X2, thus i also bought AC's cooler for it. I followed the modmymachine guide on youtube when installing it. Basically the card has warped and bent. Im sure i didnt over tighten the screws, and i have removed the cooler and re-fitted it several times. i think it is due to the length of the card, and the fact so much is unsupported. is there anything i can do?

I have attempted to upload a picture to show the extent of the bending.

thanks for any help.

You can add some supports in (DIY or there might be a commercial source). This is a common problem and even the stock cards often droop. I assume you tightened up the screws like you would a cylinder head right?

well i tried to as best i could. i tightened opposite screws, and loaded them all equally, 3 turns i think i did, i just kept working round and round until i struggled to tighten without any force. if that makes sense

as the cooler from AC doesnt use all of the holes as the stock cooler did, theres a spare one at the rear. i have some m3 rod lying around so i may make a strut and support it from my optical drive tray.
