Yeah so I was tearing down my watercooling today. Gonna go pci express soon.
anyway the stupidly designed agp locking mechanism on the dfi nf3 would not let go of my card. I just kinda put my finger where I shouldnt have, guess it happens. the silver capacitor just fell. Looks like the ends are still in tact. I hope i can solder it well enough to work again.
add to the fact that the northbridge fan died in a month and I had to slap a small fan on it but it makes getting to the tab to let go of the card impossible.
it was more of a stupid move on my part. I had forgotten on the tab works to use it effectively. but that dont excuse its stupid design.
circled one fell off
guess while im here, im gonna be buying an epox 9npa+ ultra and a x1800xt.
right now just want the most performance I can get for the money as I dont intend to sell my agp stuff.
