Description:Up for sale is an MSI Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB HBM2 Reference Blower GPU in very good working condition.The card has been fully serviced and cleaned, including:
Repasted with Arctic MX-4 thermal paste
Thermal pads replaced with Arctic thermal pads
Full internal cleaning, including the blower fan and heatsink
These Vega 64 reference cards are known to run hot by design. With the stock fan curve (approximately 51% fan speed under load), the card may not pass certain stress tests focused on frame stability. However, when the fan speed is manually set to around 61%, the card performs as expected and passes stress testing without issue.Fan behavior can also be easily optimized through the AMD Adrenalin software (installed with the full driver package), where you can create a custom fan curve to balance thermals and noise for improved performance in stress tests and real-world gaming scenarios.Performance / Testing Notes:
Tested using 3DMark Nomad Stress Test (frame stability test)
Results improved from ~93.8% (stock fan curve ~51%) to ~97.5% (manual fan ~61%)
Tested multiple times to ensure stability and consistency
Testing was performed using:
One 1080p monitor
One 1440p (2K) monitor
OBS recording running in the background
This setup may slightly reduce performance (~1–2 FPS impact)
Please refer to the attached video (GPU-Z & 3dMark) for thermals and performance details
The card is fully functional and performs reliably when properly cooled, which is typical behavior for Vega reference blower models.Condition:
Overall very good physical condition
May show minor cosmetic scuffs/scratches
