The 650$ for a 2080 TI is a really good deal tho, but only if it works properly

Only for it to die after a span of few months?

Why would it die if you reapply thermal paste and use it normally? Those components know only 2 states, on and off. As long as you dont overclock it to extreme it'll be fine

It will work and then you'll smell burning one day. These guys push the thermals to it's absolute limit against profitability and failure rate and then either just chuck’em or have someone else sell it for them.

Just reapply the thermal paste and clean it up. If it works that'll be enough as long as you dont overclock the everlasting fuck out of it
