What should I do with this?

[QuietOne]

It's a dead Geforce 8800 Ultra, I have a pair of them. Are they worth ditching or should I try and do stuff with them. ie keyrings?

Have you tried the oven trick

 

[cooperman]

Put your coffee mug on it

 

[iBeInspire]

Bake em, see if they work

If not, pop off the GPU, drill a hole in the corner and wallah keyring

Nah but I have no intentions of using either in any rigs but my other one hasn't been stripped.

Put your coffee mug on it

Lol nVidia's new GPU codename "Coffee coaster"

Edit: I was tempted to stick it in an old rig as it is and power it up and see what happens with no cooling whatsoever.

collect them, put them in a bathtub and then take a bath in the filled tub.

That was one idea I was thinking

collect them, put them in a bathtub and then take a bath in the filled tub.
Get stabbed by sharpy bits

Great idea

Well... at least that would make it pretty difficult to lose your keys...

Very true

Going with the keyring idea. As for the GPU, if anyone wants it they can have it. They just have to pay for postage.



Will the oven trick still work?

Will the oven trick still work?

Maybe if you place it very very carefully in place

 

[barnsley]

I'd be tempted to turn the gpu into a button. IDK why.

 

[QuietOne]

I'll just use Blu-Tack

It's quite heavy for what it is, my bunch o' keys will weigh double with that on there.

barnsley, that's an interesting idea. Maybe a mini clock and if there was a way to cut out the logo and have a green LED in it?

Hmmm with the button idea, you could use some tactile switches under it. I would make a plastic stand or something so it stands with the bracket screw side up then use it as a paperweight.

 

[Squidlorock]

You could turn them into flip flops, without the 'flop' :lol:

 

[Mathius]

Ya know those moments when you feel like slamming your mouse down in a rage!?

Just pick up the PCB and headbutt it in half :lol:

Serious Note.
I have kinda framed my HD4870 512mb PCB
