Title: Gigabyte WindForce repair kit Post by: crypt0.zone on July 05, 2018, 11:35:16 AM Hi!
We've designed Gigabyte mini ITX repair kit: https://crypt0.zone/uploads/images/windforcesm.png You can easily print those parts and attach them to GPUs using original fans screws. Download STL 3d print files: https://crypt0.zone/gigabyte-windforce-fans-repair-kit (https://crypt0.zone/gigabyte-windforce-fans-repair-kit) Let us know what do you think about it :) Title: Re: Gigabyte WindForce repair kit Post by: vapourminer on July 05, 2018, 11:39:54 AM this should be moved to altcoin mining (youre in the btc mining section, its all ASIC in this one). move it here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0 looks interesting, can you show a pic of just the adapter without fans? Title: Re: Gigabyte WindForce repair kit Post by: crypt0.zone on July 05, 2018, 11:47:10 AM Thanks, I've reported to moderator to move this topic.
Design is very simple - assembly holes exactly fit to radiator mounting holes: https://crypt0.zone/uploads/images/windforce-design1.png https://crypt0.zone/uploads/images/windforce-design2.png Title: Re: Gigabyte WindForce repair kit Post by: vapourminer on July 05, 2018, 01:04:04 PM very simple and clean.
this makes the card 2.5 slots wide? Title: Re: Gigabyte WindForce repair kit Post by: crypt0.zone on July 05, 2018, 01:12:12 PM I didn't measure it. Tomorrow I'll be at my mining site and I'll check dimensions :)
Title: Re: Gigabyte WindForce repair kit Post by: crypt0.zone on July 09, 2018, 07:47:43 AM I measured it - it's 6.1cm or 2.4 inches high wit standard 80mm fans.

Pretty much every Gigabyte WF Radeon 7950/7970 I had has all the fan bearings messed up. There are a few ways to fix this for free. One way is to take floss and pull the blade off and just put oil in the center. Should last anywhere from 1 month to 1 year. A longer method is to seperate the bearing from the fan assembly and clean and reoil and reseal with super glue. This might last up to 3 years but you have a 50/50 chance of destroying the fan during disassembly. Another way is to just buy the replacement fans on Aliexpress, they are dirt cheap.
