Honestly, I have had nothing but good luck. In the last three months I’ve purchased nine graphics cards, three of these were GTX 1060’s, the remainder were various RX 580s. All of them have worked flawlessly. In fact most of them were mind on for at least six months some of the best performers I have have been mined on for upwards of a year and a half .
The biggest thing that scares me about cards that have been used for mining is that many people simply don’t understand how to do it correctly.
One of the RX 580 8GB cards I got, had some pretty serious issues out of the gate
The previous owner had did a bio smart on it and the card simply would not post. Ended up picking that thing up for $20. I flipped the switch for the bios and luckily he had not touched the second bios
Once I got a chance to look at the bios that he had put on the card I’m not sure what he was smoking. Long story short the card works great and puts down a solid 31.8 MH/s
The thing I always wonder is do most of the people who tried to do this and then get out of it, do they know about under volting?
I ran All of my all of my GTX 1060s At only 800 mV with a healthy over clock on the memory ranging from 550 to 800 and grace at only 800 mV with a healthy over clock on the memory ranging from 550 to 800 increase
Those cards ran nice and cool and only once did I see them get above 55C
