newegg have refunds?

[[C.O.P.S] InfectioN]

got a 128mb radeon 9550se.. and it sucks

my geforce 3 64mb does better than this piece of crap.

tried getting the new drivers for ati and it still sucks.

i think someone is telling me to quit playing CS

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

They do refunds and the like...next time, get a GeForce...

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

ATI is good, just don't get anything that has SE at the end of the name.

[[C.O.P.S] InfectioN]

$9 restock fee? plus ill have to pay shipping to get the product to them.. then ill obviously have to pay shipping again when i get another vid card?

man.. i got screwed on this one

[LA_MERC_Drax]

think newegg just pwned you...

[aCiD]

naw hes just whining about 12$ he is going to have to pay... Ati is good like Capn said, the SE makes it a pile of crap.. even i knew that.. and i r a nub :bigok

[SaBeR512]

ati works there cards like this:

Lowest to highest: SE, nothing at end,Pro,XT

[[C.O.P.S] InfectioN]

well, you're right about the nub part.....

i wish i could get the balls to bust this fan off my old one. but since im going to be sending this new back.. i better lay off. but then agian. i figured i might try to just get a fan.. but i dont see anyway of getting this thing away from that glue

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

You could have got just a fan for 5 bucks instead of buying that other card.

I know Onji replaced the fan on his geforce 3 ti200 with a simular fan and I think it worked well for him


Or, you could have done this

HAHA where'd you find a pic of my setup?

MOst of the time Newegg waves the restock fee and shipping. but in your case when you knowingly bought the SE model and it didn't work like you wanted it to...then they don't care. It's not their job to make sure you buy the right card for your situation.

[[C.O.P.S] InfectioN]

i just got my old card back in.. went to counterstrike.. and now its not supporting opengl. even after i got all my drivers back installed right.

i asked on another forum how to get my fan off.. and a dude posted that i need to overclock it and run it for 20 to 30 minutes on some hard graphics, then the heatsink would be loose and i could get the fan off. the only problem with that is.. my fan isnt working.. so i might screw the vid card on heat.


also.. site navigation error on that link op

[[C.O.P.S] InfectioN]

is that a rubber band holding that fan to the card?

[[C.O.P.S] InfectioN]

well i found another fan.. but it has a 3 pin connector on it. after looking at my mobo.. i dont have any other 3 pin slots. where else could it plug into?

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

an adapter for a 4 pin molex connecter. just a thought. Ohh and you should freeze your vid card to make the glue brittle then pop the fan off with a screwdriver (put it underthe edge and twist the flat head straight up. it's worked on several vid cards I've had.

[[C.O.P.S] InfectioN]

ok, got it

the plan with just trying to run it hot worked. but i didnt have to overclock.. since the fan is screwed up.. it ran hot on its own and popped right off.

so now i got to find a fan for this card specificly and send the other back.

[[C.O.P.S] InfectioN]

anyone know anything about the fans?

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=35-110-102&DEPA=0

i found that one. but i have no clue what i should get

the vid card i got is a Geforce 3 Ti500

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

That should work, its got a 3 pin to 4 pin adaptor with it.

You might want to check around, this one might be better for your application.

The one you posted might not work but I read somewhere that the crystal orb was put on a Ti500

I call myself "The Geek" at work...does that count?

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

Like Onji, I had replaced the fan on a gf2mx400 with a blue orb. it will work on a gf3 too. dont worry about mounting holes, just get some thermal adhesive.

[[C.O.P.S] InfectioN]

is the blue orb on newegg?

[LA_MERC_Spark]

just 4 the record... I'm not smart enough to be a geek.. i'll just stick with nub 4 now thanks!
