Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unsuccessful purchase, I am disappointed.

Used the video card for about 9 months. At first everything was fine, but after about half a year I noticed a greatly increased fan noise. The test showed that the temperature of the chip in the tests easily rises to the critical 90ยฐC! (although everything was fine when buying and the temperature in the bagel did not exceed 74 ยฐ C) Replacing the thermal paste on the chip did absolutely nothing. The fans spin like crazy, and the operating temperature is about 85ยฐC. It seems that either the freon has come out of the heat pipe, or the cooling fins have loosened up and simply do not adjoin it :(( Very disappointing. It seems like a good fast video card, but with such a serious manufacturing defect. Now I think either to look for a donor to replace the defective cooling, or to add something else :((

Pros
  • Fast and initially quite quiet.
Cons
  • Defective cooling system
