VHDCI ATI CF cable & bolt nut thing...help

[Drazic]

Got my X1900XTX CF master today but i'd forgotten how fiderly these are!

I've snaped the thread/bolt that comes out the card on the VHDCI part. It's the bit thats has thread on not the socket section.

The remaing bit is stuck in the thumbscrew that goes over and down the threaded section!

I though about maybe mailing ATI to ask can the send me the 2 spear parts, i google found nothing and even checked the bay to find anything remotly like it to make it work!

It's only the one but not right really

Anyone got any advice?

If your on about what I think your on about, I can't see why it would make a difference, Half the time I don't screw in the DVI monitor connection anyway, and I've done the the same with the dongle, just left it unscrewed but firmly pushed in. Should work fine.

Okay

It's got 3 working points, but i just wanted it to be solid. It's the misis new rig anyway hehehe

P5W Dh Deluxe, X1900XTX CF Master, X1900XTX, E6850ES so far all for . . .£250 delivered! Not bad eh!

Just need to de-dust the mobo and GFX as there covered really badly!

Plus they stink, think the last owner was a bit of smoker of the rasta kind!

You got all that for £250....where do you shop again ?? .

Yeah, 3 working points should be fine, I mean, my cable is a pain in the a$$ to get out without any screws secure, so 3 of them will be fine.

*From the sounds of your post, it sounds like the mate you bought it off was feeding his habbit. Damnit, why can't I have any junkie friends who would sell me there PS3 for £50 just so they can get a fix. Life isn't fair.

Mates, the bay, forums, locals, gumtree, everywhere and anywhere!!

ES was mine which i sold this guy then got it back in the deal!

He has a bit of a think for my missis so that made him deal out more hehehe!

Right place, right time.

Thinking of modding my PC+P 510W if it will fall into specs to run the system, needs new plugs to do it as it;s a std ATX 20 pin and no pci on her but an amazing psu!

It stinks so badly, i've put it in the garage!!!

Lemme get this straight, you played on the fact that he has a thing for your lady to help you get a better deal...thats low, really really low...and exactly the kind of thing I would do!!

Ah well, great minds think alike.

*Your missis must be a pretty heavy gamer if your giving her that setup .

LOL sort of. I just said its for her and she would be ever so greatfull if you sold your rig, said it's for her birthday after i had it in hand so he wasn't able to turn round to her and say this is from me.

He has no need for it, he's no gamer and doesnt even have the net now!

Nah she not but she does a lot of GFX work and winges at her laptop no end which i refuse now to fix and said buy a desktop. So insted im building her a kick ass desktop and it;ll go under all water or water and phase and she has no idea at all.

Dell 2005 FPW i got for £40 off ebay then pulled a warrnaty job on it via Dell for her too, heheh!

All in all very cheap high end system which i shall use as well i guess.

Going to oc it for her too but i think will leave it all at stock then one day clock it to the max and she will come running to me saying it's just booted up this fast and stuff being really scared.

Plus hes not local directly and doesn't drive and there is one one bus an hour to my house and we've moved so he has no idea where we live now!

Plus she hates him

Have nothing further to do with him, if he admits he likes your lady and still tries to be your friend, he ain't a friend.

Oh, and nice rig Stick it in a box with charcoal (odour eaters) and hopefully will remove the awful stink. I would have suggested one of those car bombs that you set off to clean out the air system, but they leave a residue.

Hey cheers, going to get some IPA, will give it a good spray with it so it soaks some of it and then spray off with a duster.

If it still smells then i will magic tree it.

Got a really cool v mod to finish on it for her!
