This GPU was purchased about a year and a half ago from a miner and has been used for gaming up until a few months ago when I upgraded and has been sitting on my shelf ever since. It has passed every stress test and benchmark without issue and showed minimal signs of use when I got it. In case you are interested in this card for mining, it is one of the earlier rev. 1.0 models and does not have the LHR blocks. I've modded the card and included some info about the mods later in this post.
Included: GPU Original Packaging Warranty Card Quickstart Guide IO Protectors 3x Spare Fans Spare Fan Splitter
I lapped the heatsink and put on Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet and Upsiren 3D graphite pads and thermal putty, pretty much the best thermal compounds on the market. All of these products are rated for decades of usage, so this card should never need maintenance beyond a simple dedusting. My testing shows that the temps are well within the acceptable range during a Furmark test, reaching a steady state of 77C on the core and 101C hot spot with fan noise around the level of having the AC on in the background. I save all of my test results if you are interested.
The fans are very quiet so I would highly recommend setting an aggressive fan curve. I also recommend overriding the zero RPM mode. it has a tendency to not let the fans come on even when the temps rise, so it's better to just keep them running. At the minimum fan RPM (630 RPM/41%) the fans are inaudible. While not necessary, I've also found that this card benefits from a slight undervolt. I've included helpful links below.
Finally, I purchased a set of replacement fans a while back because I suspected one of them was dying. Turns out it was just the finicky zero RPM mode I mentioned earlier, but I've included them just in case you ever need them. They appear to be used, but functional OEM parts.
