That's a story I got to hear! haha well, it had a partially stripped screw, that i fully stripped and i wasnt in a great mood, and i dont have a power drill (the rubber band method didnt work). i guess i could have waited until morning and borrowed one from a neighbor, but... so, yeah, I just peeled up that backplate and started twisting and a whole bunch of stuff got scraped off. the backplate actually broke and left a small piece with the screw Title: Re: WTB a heatsink for a reference 5970 Post by: zvs on September 12, 2012, 02:20:16 PM Anyone?
I'll trade my totally busted 5870 for a 5970 heatsink. All it's missing is the back plate, shroud, and various shiny parts. I can even leave the fan on it! |
