Anyone?

I'll trade my totally busted 5870 for a 5970 heatsink.  All it's missing is the back plate, shroud, and various shiny parts.  I can even leave the fan on it!

I have one but what are you offering?

uh, i'll trade a broken 5870 for it?     i'll probably scavenge the fan off of it, but I'd leave the heat sink there.

though i've been told that it's beyond repairable. 

i think the GPU itself is undamaged, but the se quadrant of the card essentially got sandpapered

sandpapered???!!!

That's a story I got to hear!

haha

well, it had a partially stripped screw, that i fully stripped

and i wasnt in a great mood, and i dont have a power drill (the rubber band method didnt work).  i guess i could have waited until morning and borrowed one from a neighbor, but...

so, yeah, I just peeled up that backplate and started twisting

and a whole bunch of stuff got scraped off.    the backplate actually broke and  left a small piece with the screw
