[QUOTE="sswilson, post: 929079, member: 33"] My dead soldier was either a GTX 280 or 275. Went through a couple of "bakes" but ultimately gave up the ghost. Other failures were Twin Frozer fans that had to be replaced a couple of times each. Consumer grade video cards are not designed to be run on a 24/7 duty cycle. Fans will be the most likely failure point, but traces and solder joints on the PCB are also susceptible to failure over time from higher than normal duty cycle use. I personally won't buy a used vid card from an unknown source unless it's a low end "throw away" card or it's identified as a mined card and being sold at a significant discount. [/QUOTE]
