so my video card fried and sometihng else is wrong too....my coupluter randomly shus down...i think it may be that my northbridge fan is dieing and it just isnt cooling enought...and i touch my southbridge dn it feels rather hot to the touch what shoudl i do to test to see whats wrong and hor waht are some good northbridge heatsinks.....and ramsinks for the southbridge
my north bridge fan has died completely, how can i replace it (anyone can answer) i've seen some north bridge fans but the prob with mine is that is kinda sits inside the heatsink so doesnt havent the bottom bit (i brought another heatsink but gus what? i cant get the fan housing off, ideas anyone? my mobo is an AK-77 333) and as for checking yours bud, erm, get a temperature probe, maplis do them i think, they arent too much cash!
Are you using the same PSU that was hit by the surge? If so it might be worth swapping it out and testing another in there to check. Mothergooser, summit like the zalman northbridge coolers will do the job fine, add a fan if required, but they should do the job without. (might also have been worth creating a new thread for that question rather than hijaking this one )
yeh i think it woulda been a smart plan, and i have that zalman heatsink, the blue one?! but i can fit it coz of the fan housing and yes, sorry for nicking ur thread dude!!
