Failing Video Cards
I need some expert advice here as ASUS have no idea.
I built 7 systems for a customer running Samsung 21" LCD monitors through DVI, the video cards installed on these systems are ASUS V9520-X/TD/128MB FX5200 128MB DDR DVI TV-OUT Over the last 12 months 5 of the video cards have failed, it appears that 2 resistors on the card have swollen up and the system can not boot. Should I be using other cards with these monitors? The Samsung monitor models are 213T Any help on determining the cause of the problem would be appreciated Thanks |

Hi,
The ASUS V9520-X/TD/128MB FX5200 128MB DDR DVI TV-OUT cools passive. That's not so good. If you have no fan in case, the graphic card getting very hot. So to solve problem is, install a fan in case or to take an active cooling for graphic card. Greets, Wolla "Clayton" wrote: I need some expert advice here as ASUS have no idea.

ATI caused the same type of problem with its visiontek line,lack of cooling
by means of no fan(s),and small heat-sink.To solve it,one can,lightly sand the bottom of the heat sink once removed.This greatly transfers heat to it,plus adding a aux. fan below the card goes one step further(dont forget the paste onto the sink),with these two remodees to any card,overheating simply wont happen..

Thanks, I'd say it's a heat issue also.
The cheaper option is to put in a chassis fan, or should I replace the cards with fans on them instead? Should the chassis fans be installed to blow the air into the case or out of the case?

Should the chassis fans be installed to blow the air into the case or out of the case? Thanks The easiest solution is to get a PCI slot fan and install below the video card. They exhaust the air out of the case and can be installed in a couple of minutes. I used one with a video card that would overheat in a couple of minutes and afterwards never had any problems. I could feel the heat from the card in the exhaust air. "Andrew E." wrote in message ...

Hot air rises and cool air falls. -- --- Y. |
