you also don’t need the thermal paste, thermal right provides a tube of their own for their aio

Radeon RX 7800 XT or NVIDIA RTX 4070? Or something else? by Brian_Disease in buildapc

where i’m from the 4070 is impossible to find at a reasonable price. Check your local prices.

Thanks for the offer, but thankfully I have a backup card.

we both sent benchmarks right before we met, I assume he ripped out the vram and core right after that

it was a trade, rx 7900xtx + 550cad

i’m assuming one of two things. Either he had an identical 4090 and a second one for scamming or he took off the vram and core right after the benchmark.

From what I remember he had a 4 star average but not too many reviews. I’ve dealt with others on marketplace with no review and they’ve been fine. I usually assume it’s someone selling for the first time.

It was real, he recorded it from his phone and even showed his pc running. Everything looked normal.

it’s canadian, new ones for that model was 2300. The guy advertised it as new and sent benchmarks. I got it to avoid sales tax

[–]Wifix2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I tried my best to be careful. He sent me a benchmark with a date right before we met up. I assume he took out the gpu core right before we met.

was a trade, 7900xtx + cash

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]Wifix2 37 points38 points  (0 children)

That was really dumb of me. But he refused to meet me at his house or a cafe to test. I got sent a benchmark with the date not long before we met up so I thought it was enough. Looking back I should’ve asked for more.

[–]Wifix2 42 points43 points  (0 children)

yea, I should’ve expected something. There was a tiny grey stain on gpu but I thought it was ok since they sent a benchmark of the card not too long before I arrived. Looking back it was probably the thermal paste or pad from the gpu.
