    Hello,

    This is my first post on these forums. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem that I have with my graphics card. So, here's what happening:

    A while ago, we removed the heatsink from our ATI Radeon 1900xt 512mb GDDR3 graphics card in order to set it up with water cooling. The water cooling was great for a while, but it started to have some problems and we never ended up setting it up again. So, I am left with a graphics card without a heatsink on it that has been lying around for a while. I am wanting to now put the regular heatsink on it, but I am missing a few pieces. I am missing most of the screws and the metal X clamp that fits on the bottom of the card for support. Is it possible to find some screws that will fit and attach it without the clamp? Are there any GPU heatsinks that you can recommend? And is it worth it to spend $50 buying a new heatsink for the card, when it is quite old?

    I have attached some pictures of the same card how it should be, showing the clamp and screws (which I am missing).

    Thank you for your help in advance!

    I know it's easier said than done but... if gaming is important to you - get a new card. It just seems complicated to dig through sites for a possible matching gpu heatsink lol.
