Refurbished by myself using Honeywell PTM7950, Gelid GP-Extreme thermal pads, and thermal putty. Completed 8/14/2026 with extensive stress testing before and after replacing.
Temperatures run very cool with it staying under 70 degrees under full load. I have not done a full "burn-in" on the PTM7950 yet so Temperatures will actually get lower the more you use it. It is a phase changing material and just hasn't been broken in yet.
The graphics card has had extensive stress testing and I will be providing the results from said testing.
Many people looking to get into A.I. and small/local LLMs for business or hobbies are purchasing these cards up in droves.
