Received this card from local system builder's surplus of trade in goods.
This card was overheating when received (it would throttle, we assume the thermal pads were to blame).
We dusted card out, replaced thermal paste, and replaced thermal pads. This card now runs as expected and doesn't appear to thermal throttle at all. We ran benchmarks overnight (approx 14 hours) and card was perfectly stable and performed similar to other 3080s.
This card has some small scuffs on the heatsink, but isn't noticeable when it's installed in a system.
