I have an old BFG Asylum 4200Ti that fried when the stock fan stopped working about a year or so ago. I replaced the stock fan with a aftermarket BFG fan to check if it was really dead. Needless to say it was. I asked for a replacement but they said since I replaced the fan they can't give me a replacement...

any suggestions?
 
Unfortunatley your modification does violate BFG's warrenty status.

You can find the link to their warrenty here.

That said, how dead is it? Are there any leaky caps that could be at fault? If so, those may be able to be replaced to get the card functioning again. Also if you didn't install the new HS pefectly, it may not be making proper contact with the core, and still causing problems. Let us know specifically what's wrong, and who knows, it could be a good chance to learn how to fix your own card.

 
just buy a new card, you milked the hell out of the titanium time to enjoy games the way they were meant to be played
when my 5950 died i didnt bother rmaing it and stuff because i probably killed it, i aint one of those ppl who would rma somthing they broke, i just pouted for a while, and paid the money for a new card, that was a bitchin card tho, passively cooled 500/1000 mhz goodness :(
