The fan on my X1950 pro AGP burnt out and it overheats when i play games causing me to black screen and reboot.

I went ahead and bought a Thermalright HR-03 for it but ..

they recommend i use a rubber washer - i don't have any on hand, any alternative ideas or a source where i could buy them ?

Rubber is non-conductive

Get rubber, plastic, or fiber washers at Home Depot or Lowe's.

right i understand that =P
i just never have any on hand save for what comes with the hardware. Unfortunately the nearest hardware store is a far drive for me. I live in a really small town in the middle of a heavily wooded area.

Trolling commentary aside what size are the tiny screws inside a computer ? I need to know because just searching " rubber washers" won't turn helpful results.

I have a baggie of plastic wasters. I think they should fit. Let me know if want some.


I majored in Computer/Electrical Engineering plus I helped to wire my house and I mod a lot.

The tiny screws holding down a heatsink are likely 6/32 size or 8/32. (inner diameter of the washer should be <1/8 an inch.)
