My friend gave me a ( dead ) graphics card - XFX radeon hd 5830-  said if i could get it to work great.. keep it , if not whatever... Plugged it in and the fan is going like 8000rpm and nothing on screen? i could really use this card if any of you have any diy ideas of fixing it...Its broke anyway so risky stuff is fine

The bin is the best place for 5830.

Not when you're currently using an hd 4650

Which XFX Radoen HD 5830 do you have (model number, and/or a picture of the card)?

I may be able to dig up some disassembly information, or what-not.

 

Disassemble the card, and thoroughly clean the GPU cooler (e.g. the heatsink fin array, the cooling fans, etc) from any dust build-up.

 

While taken apart, inspect the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and electrical components (e.g. capacitors, surface-mount chips) for any signs of damage.

 

Clean off the old thermal paste from the GPU die and cooler, and apply a new amount.

ZAFC...

I happened to used to have a XFX Radeon HD 5850 that looked EXACTLY the same. The model number was 585X-ZAFC.

Let me see if I can dig anything up...

 

EDIT #1:

Just for any future reference, for the HD 5800 series (maybe this applies to the HD 6000 series as well), ZAFC, ZABC, and ZNFC means non-reference cooler (and PCB?).

 

EDIT #2:

Linus actually made a video on how to disassemble, and clean a graphics card.

(out of coincidence, he disassembled a XFX Radeon HD 5870 -- but reference cooler -- useful information nonetheless)

 

Remove all the red highlighted screws, and the whole GPU cooler should come apart in one piece.

The tiny screw Linus removed from the rear I/O (where the DVI and HDMI ports are) should not need to be removed -- it should just hold the steel I/O plate...which is not attached to the GPU cooler.
