I can't because I'm on my phone. It's under the card in the first pic. Black with a rough and wavy plastic bottom

[shitlord]

oh my god did you seriously take the heatsink off the card

please tell me you didnt just do that and try to boot it

[Akio-]

Well..

[Bisjac]

lol just plug the monitor into the motherboard and fudge the old card. its nothing to care about anyways.

you can still do this

[shitlord]

if you dont understand the importance of the heatsink on the card i would seriously suggest you take the computer to a store for help before you do more damage than you might have already done

[Akio-]

This is what it looks like:


There's also one black thing unplugged on the bottom, which I'm not sure if it should be.
Can't I just not use the nvidia card and use the other PC cards?

[shitlord]

holy stuff you have it upside down on the floor?

[Akio-]

hell yeah dude.

it literally just looks like just a piece of metal. if I screw it back on can I run my comp?

[shitlord]

no.

you need to re-apply thermal paste for contact between the gpu and the heatsink

seriously just please take it to the store

[Insert Name Here²]

Yeah Akio, you should seriously take it to the store to get the heatsink re-applied

[Akio-]

Really? It came off so extremely easily. It took 3/4 screws out before it was dangling. There would be no possible way for me to remove the GPU if this thing didn't come off the bottom.

I will take this to a store tomorrow morning

looks like it would come out just fine to me it has plenty of clearance

[Akio-]

The GPU was screwed onto it and holding it up

[shitlord]

the gpu can stay screwed into it and come out just fine with it

its part of the graphics card
