The RTX 4090 was originally used in my prebuilt system, which I had since 2023, and was later swapped into my new rig. I stopped using it recently. No extreme overclocking was ever done on it, and it still works perfectly. It has RGB lighting that can be controlled with MSI software. The card is a little dusty, but nothing a light cleaning can’t fix. I have never repasted it, but you can choose to do so if you’d like. It was never abused or pushed to its limits and was only used for gaming and some basic 3D rendering.
