Thanks Steve, yes it is a good fan, very big! much larger than the original one, like I say most likely overkill, but you can't keep a GPU too cool, right?

Got the card back from Roy yesterday. Great job Roy as always mate. I fitted a stonking great heat sink and fan (most likely overkill for what is needed) and I'm happy to report that the card works perfectly. Caps look great and the heatsink fitted well too. Been playing a few games this lunch...

Top top man as always mate. I will get it to you asap. I'll send it without the Cooler, I can fit that myself.

Top man Roy, I replied to your message, I will get that I think looks better

Hi Steve and thanks for the offer of a cooler, yes I agree I could most likely do the cooler myself, not too hard, but it's finding one that fits, all the info on Vogons seem to suggest coolers that no longer exist, I would not want to tackle the recap myself though! I have added pics to my...

I have an Nvidia GeForce 4 TI 4600 GPU for my Retro Win 98 PC that is in need of new caps. It went pop a while ago but stupidly I carried on using it, I now note that the fan is not spinning and the caps are noticeably leaking. I think the GPU itself is OK as games do run but not for long as...

Just a quick follow-up, the new PS2 cable from RGC came today, it's a sync on Luma (what ever the heck that may mean) and it works perfectly with no tint at all. The other cable also from RGC is a csync cable (sync on composite is that?) and shows a purple tint. Links to the cables below. New...

Thanks as ever for you help and comments on this Roy

I didn't have the issue using the same cables when I was using a smaller Sony CRT (the one you fixed recently Roy) so you are right the mystery thickens! To be honest I am not that bothered, I have all my consoles working using different cables now apart from my PS2, but I have a different cable...

Thanks for the replys, I don't think it is the TV as some cables work fine with no issues, seems ones from retro compuiter shack seem to work better than ones from Retro Gaming Cables. I don't really understand what all the differewnt sync methods mean, some say luma, some csync some kitchen...

Can someone far cleverer than me help with an issue I have with a green tint on some of my consoles with proper RGB SCART cables? I have a CRT Sony 21" CRT TV and I note that with some cables and some consoles I get a green tint, for example on my PS2 with a CSYNC cable from retro gaming cables...

I think you can close it Steve, I'm happy with your Amstrad pad mate thanks.

Met up with Steve last night, was great catching up. He gave me the Amstrad controller, really happy with it, going to clean it up a bit and get button bashing with Daily at the weekend! Thanks Steve, appreciated mate.

Received message from fitzsteve, he has very kindly offered me his old Amstrad controller, many thanks mate. We are hopefully going to meet up at some point soon.

Nice one mate, many thanks
