Re: changing the fan cooler on my video card

Ok, I took the card out and yeah it looks like this whole fan assembly comes off with some screws and a bar across the back of the card that just slips into a position and then it releases. I'm just thinking to use the same setup, but brand new from the same card. There are four small screws under the fan that will take a small screwdriver that I have, and then there are 2 big spring loaded screws that are probably hooked into the backplate that I was talking on the back of the card. I think this is very possible to do. In the mean time, I have that other card the 8 X AGP that I probably can use on my Dell 8300 stock motherboard. If I can use it, I'm sure you will know that. Maybe you can save me some looking up.
You know, I should learn where to go to find out what motherboard will take what card. I know you gave me that website, I'll take a look there, but other than having the motherboard manual, I should learn a website where I can go where the motherboards are listed that take certain speeds. Ok, oh the new video card I'm thinking about sticking into my Dell 8300 is a 8x/4x card model ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb DDR. Well, if this ATI FireGL X2 AGP Pro is a 8x or a 4x then this card will work. I'm almost sure that mobo is a 4 x, at least. Ok, I'll wait for your response. I got to have this up by the time I go to sleep, because I gotta get up by 6:15am and it's 1:15 am now. I'll walk the dog and by the time I get back, hopefully you'll have the answers. Thanks, attilathehun1


They're all from the same era, so should have the same characteristics.
If a FireGL X2 (which is a 9800 XT) works, then a 9800Pro should also
work.
