Are you serious?! I thought those cards had a shutdown temp! This one looks like it was burned...core2due said:I was just surfing the web and I guess my heatsink fell off? The card is/was a GeForce4 MX 440 AGP. The card served me well for 4 years as a backup PC. Anyways, here are some pix of the damage.
Something is wrong here, why is the VGA port melted? And to warp the metal like that, it would have to be subject to extremely high temps. And your heatsink FELL off?!

I am going to have to call BS. There is no way that card would look like that. It looks more like someone took a torch to it.

Lol I nearly believed that one! But I had a Geforce 2 MX400 long time ago, and the fan had quit functioning without me realising. Heaven knows how long it had been at a standstill before I realised.
I still use that card to test AGP slots and it still works magnificently.

Rofl! When I saw it I immidiatly started cracking up, because its so blatantly obvious. Those AMD CPUs burning up was funny too.

Lol, actually I don't know if the card was dead I pulled it from my first computer, an HP, a long time ago when I upgraded to a Radeon 9600 It was sitting in a dresser for a loooong time, and then I had it just lying on my desk for the last few weeks. I don't have any AGP computers at my place to use it in anyways, soooo... I now have a GPU core and a memory module
BTW, it had a passive HS
