Hey the old fan on my ATI Raedon X1950 Pro sucked so i have just recently bought a Thermalright HR-03 Rev.A cooler for it. But according to this http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/product_page/vga/vga_page/hr03_on_1950.htm i would need to use a non-electrical conductive washer otherwise part of the fitting would be touching the board. Is this really completely neccesary and where could i get some?
That would make perfect sense. Check with Radio Shack or any other retailer selling small electrical hardware. If you have time, I would even ask Thermalright if they would send you a couple. I doubt this would be the first time they've heard of this issue. Dick
Sorry i forgot to say i am from the UK, so is there anywhere you could think of over here where i could get something, also i doubt thermalright would send me any i just bought it from ebay. These would probably work right http://maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=98862
Yes they probably would, i have found these at halfords as well and maplin and halfords are both next to each other in my town so i'm sure i will find something thanks for the help
You don't have to go out and buy washers. Just get a piece of thin plastic, cut some small circles out, and poke/drill holes in the center of each circle.
