  1. Thank you very much, I will get some thermal pads and test the GPU with heatsink properly attached.
  2. Hello! GPU: Sapphire HD 6850 Toxic 1GB About 2 years ago I broke my GPU while reapplying paste. But since after that soon both the MOBO and the PSU died, I think it is possible the GPU could still work. Until now I didn't have a system to test it in, but now I want to try, also for curiosity. I reapplied the paste, because the GPU was running 99C under load. Things I did wrong back then: Applied paste to the memory(possibly even too much, shorting memory pins) AND reused the old, dusty thermal pads. I would also like to know whether the average thermal compound is electrically conducting or not? Now I have cleaned everything off and have a proper system to test it in, but unfortunately, I don't have thermal pads, which begs the question: Can I test whether my GPU POSTs without using the heatsink?
