should have worked though either way unless traces got cut around the board

we shoulda tested the card before removing the resistors...i'm thinking it got wet...so hopefully baking it helps...

i dont think the traces got damage...the lone resistor was ok....the adjacent resistor removal was the tricky part...

Solder points tested ok, traces not broken around the 3 resistors....

I will strip the card, solder the 3 resistors back on and give her a try on stock air!

lol j/k i knew that bro. I see you guys used that stupid little fan that comes with the R3. I stopped using that thing cause it would frost up so bad that it would stop turning. lmao

GFDuke · #17 07-06-2010

ouch. I hate when that happens.

Hondacity · #18 07-06-2010

we just connected it...we used 2 80 nmb supplementary fans...temps were finger safe..as it didn't burn our fingers as compared to the passive heatsink...

I'm going back to water cooling the nb/sb. It seemed to help out alot on my last R3. could be my imagination though. But hell, i paid alot for that waterblock i might as well use it.
