OMG today was one of the best and worst day of my lives. Goodnews? Braces almsot off

Bad?

I think i broke my NV SILENCER. I've been using an NV SIlencer 6 REV 2 on my 7600 GT when I removd it today to apply some AS5 on the bottom and to rmeove the heatpad on it. So, I am tightening it up when BAM snapidy dap! The little poll that I screw into literally falls out. Dear god. I cant even get the tightening nt off. I have NO CLUE what to do. Please any ghetto solutions? PLEASE! thank you. And anyone have spare 33 bucks to help me buy a zalman? :]

Zalmans are pretty good.

First port of call would be your parents

Yea, well see the rpoblem with that is umm my dad is more into software than ahrdware...he'd be much more supportive if I was like developing some program lol...and this was not supposed to happen....i didnt plan on having to buya new cooler so yea i cant really ask my dad or my mom....whoever helps out I rpomise to pay back once I get my highschool work pass. (cant wait to work) :]

And every few days hed come into school with chunks of skin missing....

Couldn't you just get a new Arctic Cooler? They are chaep as anything.

The problem is...I have NO money donations plz!

 

[Bal3Wolf]

lol maybe you should see if you can mow peoples yards for cash lol be alot easyer then asking for some money over the net. And sence your young you would have to give a address for someone to send money to and thats not wise.

 

[mVp24]

Nope no adresses. Amazon.com gift certificates go through email! ^^ And everyone near me has a gardener...like that's no exageration.

How much time did you have this cooler? Is there a chance you can RMA it? Just try to contact the manufacturer, you've got nothing to lose...

If you can't my only advice to you is, save some money and by a new GPU cooler, the Zalmans are pretty good, while the new Arctic Cooler are pretty cheap. I've also had a very good experience with the VF700Cu, which cooled down my previous 6600GT from 85C to something around 53C!!!

I've also heard very good things about their new VF900Cu GPU Cooler...
