Powercolor 6870 X2 Fan Fin Broken

cress — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:00:46 +0800

Tried asking this in the Hardware Q&A but there was no response. Hope this would be a better place to ask, else would need to trouble the Mods to move it to the correct section.

I have a friend who has a Powercolor 6870 X2 which has 2 of the fan fins broken off due to hand itchy while assembling.
Looking through reviews in Google yields that the fans are 9-blade diameter of 85 millimeters and a 33mm motor. and the other fan is 75 millimeters and has 11 blades. Its motor is 29 millimeters in diameter. The GC still runs fine and temps are at 50C on idle and 80C on gaming (I know it is acceptable temps). The annoying part is when the GC's fan spins up faster during graphic intensive scenes (passing through smoke) during gaming which causes the pain.

Read somewhere that if to "balance" the fan back is to brake off another 2 fins off the opposite of the current broken fins. This is really extreme fix and not too sure whether this will effect the GC's performance in the future.

Am looking for a safer option to have the fan fixed. Sending it for repair takes 5 weeks and he has no no spare GC to use with during the period. Tried looking for aftermarket vga coolers and there is none for this card.

Current options are:

1. Superglue the broken fins and hope it fixes the problem but unsure on how strong will the glue hold while its exposed to the heat
2. Get AC F12 fans and remove the original GC housing + fans and cable tie them somehow onto the GC. Concerened whether the fans will run at 100% speed all the time or it can be regulated as the original fans are.
3. Get another GC for temp use until the 6870 X2 comes back from repairs.

Any advice(s) are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Rig Built Budget 3K

Greetings builders!

Need your advice on getting a rig setup as I've been PCless for >5 years, surviving on company laptop and a macbook white. Missed the days were spent on gaming full on high settings.

I'm allocating a budget of RM3K to build a rig which includes monitor (Dell?) and OS (64bit). Possibly squeeze in a Corsair Carbide 400R within the budget. Appreciate all your kind advices on this . Thanks!

SwirlyMMS 1.1.0 Problem - DiGi

cress — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 19:17:28 +0800

iPhone Mahasifus....

Would like to post this problem out after continuous research on the problem has been made along with the much appreciated help from a fellow forummer davidgary73

I've installed SwirlyMMS 1.1.0 (ehem version & also trial versions) a couple of days back and was not able to send out any MMS at all..... I've tried these settings below:

DiGi
APN: digimms
APN name: mms
APN password: mms
WAP gateway: 203.92.128.160 or 203.092.128.160
MMSC: http://mms.digi.com.my/servlets/mms

With and without the http:// in front of the MMSC field. Tried these settings below as well:

Mmsc: mms.digi.com.my/servlets/mms
Proxy: 203.92.128.160
Apn: digimms
User: DIGI
Password: mms

With and without http:// on the mmsc field as well.

There this other symptom which is also noticed where on the top right corner of the screen, next to the battery icon, the "M" logo does not have a green background to it. It used to have the icon active on the earlier version of swirly. The error message received is "MMS cannot be sent right now since GPRS/EDGE is not available! Pls review ur MMS and/or EDGE AON settings or wait a while if settings are correct..."

Hope all the Mahasifus here are able to help/suggest any other solution to this problem.

Thank you all......
