Fan rattling = no more. Still hate this video card.



I ordered, received and installed the replacement fan for my heatsink.  I picked up the Hyper 212+ and I liked the fan on it, but after a couple months it had started rattling uncontrollably.  I knew that it was the fan, but I was willing to give it another shot.  I ordered a replacement fan that is, as far as I can tell, the same as what came with it.  If this doesn't work out I will invest in another silent cooling PWM fan, I guess.  I'm hoping the last one was a fluke.  The fan still worked, in the sense that it moved air, it was just annoying as hell to listen to and I wasn't sure I would make it much longer.

However, even with this new fan attached, my video card is still a huge piece of shit.  As I said before I am using a 5770 that my brother had very little luck with.  I managed to crash the drivers and have to reset them WHILE I WAS TYPING IN THE ADDRESS TO BLOGGER.  Really?  Quality control must REALLY suck over at Sapphire.  Piece of shit.

I can't wait to get my 6870 back.  I'm still a little nervous about it actually being in working order, though.
