hi
i have a XFX hd radeon 6770 1gb GPU.
yesterday i was trying to figure out a way to place an fan around the gpu so that i cools the vrms.
but i was doing that while the pc was on
well,i was careless enough the let the edge of the fan i was about the place touch the gpy heatsink fan blades and 2 blades fell off.
i removed the fan and used those super glue adhesives.i did it very carefully and to the best of my abilities.
now the fan doesnt seem unbalanced i.e. i dont see a 'wobble' while the fan is running.
also running the gpu on full load(kombustor and gpu folding) and fan at 70%-80%,i am not feeling any extra vibration form the card,there is little vibration,but it was there even b4 i damaged the fan.
so now is it safe to let the card run this way?
XFX wont just give me only the fan.i will have to buy the whole HS+fan and i will have to pay for it.
should i simply disconnect this broken fan and stick a new fan on the HS?
after fixing the fan blades,my temperatures ar exactly the same.
61C during the day while folding.48C at idle.
57C at night while folding,43C at idle.
