Picked up a used RX 580 AMD…

After failure to acquirer this card below…

Another self destructive move by Microsoft…

Found a used RX 580 in Siberia and finally got a fairly good Graphic Card for my computer. This last attempt was after twice trying to use AliExpress and failing to get shipped two new video cards. AliExpress gave money back, but that is actually just a bandaid on bigger problems I see about AliExpress lately. Enough said…

OZON from Russia had lots of choices and after some work, we decided that a used very cheap, MSI RX 580 AMD would do the job. Used and cheap are the keywords…

Exact unit RX 580 MSI used…

It was received fast and worked in the correct places. Not perfect, very dirty and very strong card…

I found the ventilation system was faulty and the cooling fins for the GPU clogged with dust. So, even though they had a warranty of 15 days? I decided to just take matters in my own hands and tear the poor neglected card apart. Tossed the fan system, blew out the dust bunnies and installed a set of matched case fans “250 rubles brand new for two” that connected to Molex power connections…

Idle temp is 26 C and cannot hear the fans running at all. So nice…

Hooked up and working and quiet and most of all, not a single issue with compatibility as I keep my forward movement to shred Windows OS’s into a much nicer and pleasant software to use…

Now that is fun…
