Repairing old agp gpu geforce 7600gs

Repairing old agp gpu geforce 7600gs agp 512mb and the darn secound chip on board over heats after booting up but when unpluged can damage it so it runs for 1 min before screen cuts off from secound on board chip over heats it has a heat sink i replaced thermal past and things that clip down onto it uk that older card stuff u want pic just ask 

[Psittac]

What are you asking? Where is the sound chip?

 

I don't remember the agp card's having onboard audio unless they were the all in wonder series.  I doubt there are a lot of people here with experience in cards that old

[1NIGHTMAREGAMER]

It has a gpu chip and some square chip with rectangle on it but soon that chip over heat card cuts off

[Psittac]

if a chip is hot, put a heatsink on it

 

heatsink

 

thermal adhesive

 

or thermal tape

 

I'm sure there are cheaper ways to remove the heat but that was what I could find in a minute or two

[1NIGHTMAREGAMER]

Thats issue it has one but still over heats

What is the "secund" (second perhaps?) chip, the AGP/PCIe bridge chip?  This sits between the GPU chip and the edge connector.

 

If so, you can only run the card in an AGP 4x/8x 1.5v system.  AGP 2x/4x 3.3v is MUCH higher voltage and will damage the bridge chip.

The card was runing in a ai series 478 mobo qhen i got it and i remember using thia when j was 12 years old and im 16 now so card hasnt had an issue being in this mobo btw i also replaced psu from 550 wat to 250wat since this card only uses 27 wats

 

Btw i got it from.mu grandma cause psu justmakes a errrr npise instead of turneing on and is dusty inside so i own stronger pcs just wanted to get it running / the card its self 

[KarathKasun]

Honestly dont think this is the problem.

 

Ive had some cards with the AGP/PCIe bridge, they get EXTREMELY hot without a problem.

Does the fan actually spin when the card is running?

Looks like the two capacitors near the molex connector are bulging. Unless you also replace these the card is done.

Yep, didn't notice that because of the small preview size.  That would be your problem, not temps.

Got a nividea 6200 thousand nothings bolding just drivers wont work corectly itll just cut screen off some fucking reason its annoying af why nividia shit so useless especaily older stuff

[asand1]

I had a 6600 that ran for 12 years before it blew the caps. I replaced them and ran it another two years. There was nothing wrong qoth nVidia as a whole, just your 15 year old card.

But card runs with 600 drivers  but wint run with 6 series drivers 

So card wont sleep mode corectly and just cut off if i use 600 drivers

Would having ur pc set to 2002 and runing win 7 and runing 2018 drivers be issue ?? 

[KarathKasun]

The capacitors need to be replaced.  That is the problem, they don't even pass a visual inspection.

[asand1]

Your card is physically damaged. You are wasting your time until you replace the capacitors. It will never work regardless of drivers until you fix the physical damage.

Same. I have an ATI HD2600XT with a bridge chip and that thing gets toasty AF but works fine.

No. Replace the capacitors or throw the card in the bin.

6200 will likely need older drivers.

 

Ive got a few Quadro cards from the 6000 line and they don't work the best on Windows 8/10.

 

In Windows 7 you have to use very old drivers from ~2008 or so.

Yes, they are. On top where the three lines intersect they are not flat, and one is leaking. You cannot be helped, and as such I am about to block you because You're not listening and wasting my time.

He has ADHD'd to another topic, which is fine.
