Need help replacing cooler on ati 4850
« on: October 10, 2008, 10:29:53 AM »
here is the card i have



and im installing a t-rad 2 with 2 - 92mm fans, here are some pics.












now to my problem, if i wire the 2 - 92mm fans to the 12v rail i get the blue screen of death on xp, but if i plug in the stock fan the card works perfect, can someone tell me how to hook up the       2 - 92mm so that the card will work and stop giving the bsod, so i dont need stock fan plugged in.  the 92mm fans are 3 wire.

thanks for any help.

i hook mine up to the motherboard that way you get more power if you use the card port your draining the power from the card
come to the rite place if you kiss admins as they promote you to admin.

whitetop, i said i have the 2 - 92mm fans wired to psu
not the card.

but i have to plug stock fan into card for it to work, and not give me the blue screen of death.

Last time i checked the catalyst control center monitors the power usage and to make sure if the fan is working, the temp probe on the graphic's card could be sending wrong signals/or when the control center doesnt detect power usage from the card it thinks the card is malfunctioning, so it "bsod's" to ensure the card doesnt burn up.
