This card WORKS without issue. Hotspot when under load. Selling for a reduced rate, for someone who knows how to replace pads/paste and will do it themselves. Great deal as the pads and paste should only cost you ~$20 from Amazong.

The Card was used for Ethereum Mining, then in a gaming workstation for a year.

VulMem Test: Passed Eight consecutive tests - NO ERRORS Furmark 1080P w/Artifact Scanning: Stable, NO ARTIFACTES FOUND, Thermal throttling DID occur. FPS dip ~18-22 due to thermal throttling.

Again, the card is fully functional and WILL work just fine without RePad/Repaste, but it will thermal throttle at full bore. You will want to RePad/RePaste to get the maximum efficiency from this card.
