    Oiling an 80mm VGA fan?

    Ahh, good to know. I'll just stick with the tape then. It seems to be running great right now, but I noticed when testing it, that the same fan on my other GTX 460 is also starting to fail. Looks like I'm going to need to do that one as well, sigh... Great work Power Logic <_<

    Oiling an 80mm VGA fan?

    Ohh interesting. Looking up rifle bearings, it does appear to be one, as it has the grooves for lubricant to flow through. I'm wondering now, being that type of bearing, perhaps I should do something to seal the hole better? Like some white glue (done carefully so it doesn't seep into the...

    Oiling an 80mm VGA fan?

    As has been said, it won't be a problem, depending on the type of oil. Mineral oil doesn't conduct electricity, there are a few PC mods out there where it's like an aquarium, the whole case is filled with mineral oil, and it works fine. Anyways, I managed to "drill" a hole, lol, using a...

    Oiling an 80mm VGA fan?

    Ok, but in relation to how mine looks, could you advise me on where I should inject the lubricant? I'm guessing I wouldn't want to inject it onto the copper coils I see in the side there. So my only option is to probably drill a hole in the center, like I've seen done in other videos?

    Oiling an 80mm VGA fan?

    One of the fans on my MSI Twin Frozr II GTX 460 has been seized up for a while now. I've taken a look at it, and there is quite noticeable force when I try to turn it by hand, that isn't there on the other fans. It doesn't spin at all when powered on. I read on the forums here to peel the...

    AMD Demonstrates DirectX 11 Graphics Processor

    And now they have retracted that statement sort of: http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/14109/1/ Plus: http://brightsideofnews.com/news/2009/6/8/nvidia-gt300-targets-225w-tdp.aspx

    AMD Demonstrates DirectX 11 Graphics Processor

    Because Windows 7 is getting such good reception, DX11 has a much better chance at surviving than DX10 did with Vista. There's also the fact that DX11 is backward compatible with DX9/10 hardware. The hardware merely can't use the new DX11 features. So it makes developers lives a lot easier...

    AMD Demonstrates DirectX 11 Graphics Processor

    Nvidia already has it's first DX11 chips taped out just like ATI. So they didn't show at computex, that means nothing really.

    How much better is a GTS 250 than an 8800GT

    Not enough of a performance increase to justify buying a new one really. They are all recycles of the same architecture since 8800. Wait for the GT300 series that are coming in a few months. Some significant architecture changes/improvements and a massive increase in performance. Save your...

    $560 to spend i need advice/help

    I would say instead of buying that 4890, hold out for the next generation DX11 cards that are coming out in a few months. They are a much bigger performance increase than the past few generation have been.
