Small experience with proper installation and use of graphics

Recently encountered a strange thing, the past one boot on the "sound" screaming the video card fan these days turned on the very calm. Take apart the chassis found that the video card fan has completely stopped, no wonder no sound, as this goes on, the graphics chip will certainly overheat and die, today will not play computer, tomorrow to the computer city to go with a new fan bar.

Take the entire video card to the computer city, the volume is too large, and then the sharp spot on the graphics card, but also the bag scraping bad, carefully see, the graphics card radiator is removable, this simple, the radiator down, to the computer city to change a fan can not get.

Also don't say, want to buy this kind of video card fan is really a bit difficult, in the computer city turn a circle, only finally found the same fan. Thought the rest of the matter is simple, install the fan heatsink, and then the graphics card into the computer, to solve the problem. can be inserted in the video card, the problem comes, the graphics card is not plugged into the slot, what's going on? Look carefully, the card slot edge of a capacitor just to withstand the heatsink. Strange, the original graphics card are all plugged in well, how can not plug in now? Fortunately, the graphics card heatsink is also "very soft", regardless of, twist and bend two pieces of heat sink, see still can insert to go? In the "Violence Enforcement", the video card finally inserted into place, after the boot, the fan runs smoothly, showing that everything is normal, the problem is done.

However, after replacing the fan, the graphics card seems to become not to force, some original smooth operation of the game, sometimes playing up incredibly will occasionally card, thanks to the problem is not serious, first make use of. Can trouble more and more serious, until one day, the computer appears flower screen and crash, restart invalid, this just feel the seriousness of the problem, and then reseat the video card, who knows, a few pull plug, the problem is more serious, to the last, or even a boot, the monitor on the flower screen.

Cause of failure

From the video card can not be plugged into the slot, to the phenomenon of flower screen, there must be a reason, what's going on? So I picked up the graphics card for research, but how to see, all think that the graphics card is very awkward, what is wrong? This found me in the installation of the radiator, incredibly installed wrong, so that the radiator was 90 degrees, This is why the heatsink resists the capacitor. Remove the reload, take a chance, you can remove the heatsink, but found that the card chip on a pile of hard and hard things, nail a dig, found to be dry and hardened silicone grease, this just suddenly wake up, I made a second mistake, in the disassembly of the Heat film, actually did not reapply silicone grease, "mend" bar, will dry silicone grease treatment clean, Reapply silicone grease, the heatsink is properly installed, but the miracle did not appear, several pull plug, the display is still flower screen. It appears that the video card has been burned, only to buy another video card.

This video card is damaged, it is too wrong, the author incredibly will display the direction of the graphics radiator wrong, but also forget to apply silicone grease, these factors will directly affect the thermal card chip, in the long-term baking, the graphics card due to the temperature is too high and died, we should take my for a guide ah.

Viewpoint: The ubiquitous design of the computer is already let us feel, as long as can put things on, that can work, unfortunately, the heatsink of the graphics card does not have such a design, if you are also installed in the usual way of thinking, it is likely that the installation error will affect the heat dissipation. Fortunately, the author also encountered a capacitor stuck to the heatsink and had to twist the heat sink, otherwise, too long heat sink may also encounter the motherboard, resulting in a short circuit, thereby damaging the motherboard, power and other equipment, the consequences will be serious. Must answer the kid to remind everybody, the maintenance must pay attention to the detail, do not be too empiricism.
