You cannot do anything about it.
The only thing you must do now is get a good PSU.

Plus, the graphic card is going to bottlenecked with your specs.
Bottlenecked heavily.

Hair dryer can produce static charges, thus, it can kill your graphic card easily.

Nope, i did that to all my GC even when i'm on AGP, why?
Because it's easier to plug out the HSF while it's hot as the TIM is on liquid form, not in hardened mode.

The core will get damaged easier when you plug out the HSF when the TIM is hardened.

just to further clarify in case got some people who reads this is a super n00b....

....make sure u do this while the PC is OFF!! dun do it while the card is plugged in then the pc is on and running.

that one will definitely kill the card

Ic, thanks alot. I will test it out and see how much difference does it make. To clarify things better, how many screws i should remove to remove the cooler?

Every single screws that you can find on the back of the card and at the PCI metal cover.

LOL...OK.Thanks alot bro..

+3.3v +5v +12v1 +12v2 -12v +5vsb
30A 30A 15.0A 15.0A 0.6A 2.0A

your PSU just able to produce 15A for the 12v, is already very lucky if u still able to boot up ur computer...

Yeah, "very lucky", but when his lucky goes away, he might find some hardwares blown up.

LOL I took out the hsf for my 8600gt w/o warming up the TIM. Too impatient. Waited 2 weeks to get the card and cant wait to get the pc setup. The only tough part for me was scrapping the yellow TIM off the core and heatsink. Yes, i used a small flat-head screwdriver and slowly scrap the TIM off. Didnt occur to me to use something plastic. -.-

Another method could be to set the fan to spin at the lowest speed. Then load a game, play for a min, then shut down pc and remove the hsf. That way the heatsink wont be cooled so fast.

Well, if i can remove the HSF from the core, i guess i would have no problem to scrap the TIM off right?I can do that using the Arctic Cleaners right?

Using arctic cleaner is the best.
Slash didn't use Arctic Cleaner to remove the yellow sticky TIM that were used on his Colorful 8600GT UE i think.

Did you use Arctic Cleaner eh Slash?

.....relax man ..... i no try it yet ...i want conform 1st .....that y i want ask ur guys opnion 1st zzzz....can intro some psu < rm 200 ? i want can run stable with my 8800 can alredy ....

RM200... I doubt that whether can get a good quality PSU with that price to feed ur whole rig especially ur 8800...
Got money to buy 8800, why dun spend more a bit to buy a better quality PSU?

hehe ...better psu = 8600gts
better gc = normal psu .....

so ...no more $$ to buy psu ....got any 2nd hand ? to sell me?

i recommend you mod a bit...

use a cheaper psu just to power the GFX card

meaning use an external PSU to power up the gfx card

at least you can save yourself few bucks

hehe i also think b4 .....buy 1 rm 50 psu for full power to 8800 right ? but i qustion is ......if i on the psu that i connct gc that 1 ...will start without power the mb power? i afrad is mb no start gc alredy start ...zz

will it be safe to use a cheap psu to solely power up 8800 card? for me larr, i wouldn't want unclean power to power up something i spent so much on..

remember, psu is like the heart of the pc. psu hancur, e'thing else also hancur.. dangerous..

supposed you should get yourself a really good psu, then only you think about the others..

just my 2cents
