Ok my fan on my old VisionTek (the worst nV maker ever) gFroce 4200 4x just died for good (I cleaned it once saved it for a few weeks) now I know that there are several good heatsink/Fan replacements out there and I can buy one local too.
However MY QUESTION is ... How to remove the Heatsink that is "Glued" on???
the genius at visiontek did not use the stock pins but I would assume an epoxy or some other glue to adhere the heat sink on to the GPU ( know wonder they went out of business) and because they did I no longer have a warrenty either.
Now I need to remove the Hink sink beause it is one of the round type with the fan in the middle with the fins that circle the fan futhermore I do not think I can find a fan to fit in there because the stock mounts with only 3 small screws.
SO Please let me know if you can help at all THANKS a TON
Cheers
FYI - this is the 3rd time the fan has gone out (first 2 I RMA'd) also I had differnet Vision tek DOA too. thanks goodness they are gone.
