Faulty 8800GT for PhysX?

[daryll]

I have a spare 8800GT that I think was killed by a faulty PSU a few weeks ago, basically after swapping out the PSU in my wifes machine there was a burning smell from the card, the fan span @ 100% and did not display anything.

Im assuming its just dead but after reading a few threads about PhysX im now tempted to see if it can be salvaged as a PhysX card

Do you think its worth just sticking it in my machine and giving it a go? Ive very little hope but am intrigued all the same

I'm thinking no

May aswell give it a go mate. Dont blame me if the pc dies tho!

Ah I was gonna give a go then at 2-1 lol, just looked inside my case and realised ive got no spare molex for the PCIE 6pin adapter, thats my fun over

Ah well, thanks for the replies guys

converter, I know its not a good idea for a dead card

 

[killari]

stick it in the oven. mmmm

lol, worth a try but it might not work anyway caps might have blown as well

Lol, nothing to loose, might give it a try.

Though the previous burning smell might imply its a little well done already
