Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler (RR-212E-20PK-R1)
Reviewed by junhawng

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

Was wondering if any of you know what exactly this is and if it's replaceable? Its a XFX 8800GTS Alpha Dog Edition 640MB.

That little module thing whatever it is looked all beat up the card worked still. I took it out to clean and started picking on it and one of the module thingy fell off.

Put it back on ( that is if you still have it ) and use a either a low wattage soldering iron or a heat gun if you are experienced ( you can youtube some videos ). I am not sure what the component that fell off is, sorry.

That's a surface mount capacitor, if its not a very important component then its alright to run the card. If not it could be dangerous.

The component that fell off was very corroded. Won't be possible to solder back on. I'm not even sure as to how it had corrosion on it.

Have you tried cleaning it with some 99% Isopropyl Alcohol first? also clean the pcb where you gonna solder back on. ( use a toothbrush

just don't re-use it on yourself

)

the card may actually still work fine. i friend dropped a some pliers/multi tool on his sapphire 4850 and knocked a bunch of things off the back, it still worked and OCed.

EDIT: Yes yes yes, 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and tooth a brush.
