My Windforce 670 is going back tomorrow because of this:


There's no way to access the screw without removing the whole heatsink.

Thinking of replacing it with ASUS DCU II, but can't seem to find reviews, only reviews I can find are that of the TOP version. Anyone in here using or have used one? How does it overclock?

Edit:
The loose screw was actually very loose, even the plastic washer moves, and I got the feeling that bit that's loose would touch the solders and cause a short circuit and damage everything including the motherboard. The video I made was carp, and it does not show what I have described

=====

result:
See POST no. 109 in page 4

Being someone who has fully dismantled a 670 windforce I can tell you now all that screw does is hold the fancy GB name plate on :)

Is it rattling about or something while you use it?

No but it carries a cost to the suppliers which is then passed on to the consumers, who then complain about high gpu prices.

Its a bit like how all our car insurance has gone up because of all the idiots claiming for whiplash:mad:
 
Eh? You're DSR'ing for what? I know you don't need a reason but sending it back for that is quite frankly absolutely mental.

If costs are high partly fueled by a few occurrences of this then it's an absolute joke.
 
Well lif I was windforce i would send it back to you as there is clearly not an issue with the function of the card apart from a slightly loose screw that will have zero effect when you are gaming etc......mmmm:confused:

Blame the doctors certifying them to supposedly have whiplash, just as bad tbh.
