Good value for the money, but changing the thermal paste is a must

The card came in good condition, though needed a good cleaning. Before I even turned it on I removed the cooler to give it a proper clean and fresh thermal paste, which I recommend to everyone who has one of these cards. The old paste was rock hard and that is a sure sign it is no longer doing its job. The card runs cool and surprisingly quiet, though the coil whine is audible, but that is to be expected with these cards.
