Title: Buying used/refurbished GPUs: Is my questionnaire complete? Post by: fgervais on July 28, 2012, 01:39:53 PM Greets,
Both for mining and other uses I occasionally purchase used GPUs, especially if the card will be in a high-stress, low survival environment. When ascertaining if the cards I'm looking at are worth the price/at all, I whip out this little questionnaire: 1- How old is the card? 2- Was it pulled from a system running 24/7? 3- What type of use was made of the card? 3.1- Any super stressful use like mining? 4- If known, what was the average temperature? 5- Was it left stock or modified? Since a lot of you guys must have been doing this for longer than me, along with a test on one of my own systems, am I leaving something out?

Yes, you forgot #6: 6.) Have you ever lied to help make a sale happen? |
