    Calling all experts in electronics (5870)



    Here's the deal, when i put 2 ramsinks (with very low force) in those 2 components highlighted in red i hear a little snap and it became very loose (the plastic part, not the metal of the sides). Do i damage somehow the card? Need help please...
    PS: The ramskins are hot so the circuit is fine? :\

    One of mine were loose already and the other was not. My card is running great with low temps! You should be fine, just keep an eye on temps like normal.

    Thanks for your reply. It seems that the manufacture didn't glue right those components. I put on mine a little super glue and now won't move.

    That looks like a sheilded inductor. so u just poped off the top sheild, as long as u reattached it, it should be fine. Possible side effects are inductor coil buzzing noise and very small loss in efficiency.
