Yup. The fan failed originally, so I replaced it with that heat sink. It's originally from a Hipro PSU, but works quite well on that card. It's only an FX5200, so it doesn't get that hot.
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the coils backwards! :D

Lol. What was the original cooling like? Was it one of those really small heatsinks? Because ive got like 3 passively cooled fx5200s, and i can't imagine meeding a fan!

Yeah, it was microscopic and got WAY too hot to touch after a few minutes without a fan.
