I didn’t really want to believe it at first, but after receiving feedback in the double digits, I combined what was pleasant for the customer with what was interesting for me. I analyze and repair the card at my risk, so that the buyer gets a working card back in any case and I am at least smarter in the end. The 30 Kelvin delta between GPU [...]
