Brother plz tell me the power requirements for this card? Does the standard PSU work with it or you need to change it? Actually i am experiencing some problems with the PC which i think is related to this card

it will work with the standard PSU, i was running it on my old pc with the standard 250watts ATX PSU.

Standard PSU is not 220 to 240 watts? Actually the PC just suddenly hangs sometimes WHEN THE CASING IS CLOSED. And when i keep one side open, it runs fine.
I think this card heats up

well then ur problem lies with ur card.

Is the card from inno3d?

Einstein (Einstein) 2009-09-10 09:30:00 +0600 #6

I'll have to confirm that coz i don't remember right now. Is there something wrong with the card by inno3d?

TotaLOverdosE (TotaLOverdosE) 2009-09-10 09:35:00 +0600 #7

Yeah inno3d is one of the least reliable graphic card brands, that's why the problem could lie with ur card.

Einstein (Einstein) 2009-09-10 09:38:00 +0600 #8

ok I'll check the manufacturer when i get home. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know in case i need any more information.

BTW Good Luck Bro (Y)

TotaLOverdosE (TotaLOverdosE) 2009-09-10 12:35:00 +0600 #12

Well that's coz the vendor is ASUS; which is none of the most reliable brands out there in the market.

It's Inno3d, i had no idea about these issues, did not know about the vendor thing as well. Now what to do? Will the seller return me the money or will he give me a separate card?

bro where do u live in islamabad
i am interested in buying

TotaLOverdosE (TotaLOverdosE) 2009-09-11 05:39:00 +0600 #18

Well u can rely on keeping the side panel open to avoid the card crashing, im assuming that the issue lies with the cards cooling system. As far as i remember its got a black heat sink? which doesn't cool well as compared to fan sink, like the one i have in mine.

If the card is still in warranty u can address the issue to the seller, if not then i guess ur stuck with it.

As far as money goes it will be a rare case that they refund.

Contact me on my cell so we can discuss the details.

@totaloverdose
yes the card is in warranty and yes it has only got heat sink.If refund not possible then i could ask for a fan to be put on top of the heat sink. Keeping the side panel open is not a good option, lets see what happens
