GeForce GTS 250 reviews
In general, it is considered non-separable and out of service.
But you can remove it with two threads, it just starts on two sides with three blades and is slowly removed. But if the blades are flimsy, it can break. Some drill a hole in the right place, and then smear. Well, you can also use two screwdrivers, the main thing is not to start the textolite, otherwise you can break it, the emphasis is placed on the textolite and the impeller is removed by turning the screwdrivers. And then you can rinse it with something other than water, of course, and lubricate it. Everything seems to be simple, but damn, it’s scary, yes))
guys I had such a vidyuha now burned out = (but I lasted 7-8 years I played games like battlefield 4 (at high settings) so it’s really better at higher settings stupidly added brightness of 300 fps very often gives out with very frequent shooting almost a war in cs =) sags up to 250 so I advise everyone I want to try GTA 5 but only when buying the same vidyuhi
Petus, by the way, maybe .
