Image Ex Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) But it works! Both of the fans on my graphics card managed to seize up at the same time and replacement fans are going to take awhile to get here. This is the sketchiest thing I've done to keep my PC running Edited May 13, 2017 by Image Ex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgemon Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Man, thats like someone jerry-rigging a apple to get a lil weed high. You do you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestingM Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 if you can keep the fan in position it might work but I would simple stuff like youtube before playing a game. Monitor the temperature if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monitor the temperature if you can. It's held down with 3 zip ties, seems to be holding. Temps are actually alright... somehow. New fans will be here July 5th at the latest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sno Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I know nothing about computers like build wise, which probably explains why this doesn't look bad to me ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Image Ex Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 watz I got desperate. Both of the fans on my graphics card wouldn't spin up. I tore apart the fans, attempted to lube them but they are dead. Replacement fans won't arrive till around July 5th so this is my solution. Somehow it's working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirius Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Yeah, I had to do something pretty close to that a number of years ago while I waiting for a replacement card. Ghetto but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
