Hello guys, is there any way to fix a GPU? I found an ASUS GTX 660 2GB for only €10 but in the description (from where you can buy it) they say it has white dots and stripes.

Is there any way you can fix this?

100 Euros or 10 euros. 10 sounds kinda like a scam

It is really €10, I could buy it and try to fix it. And it is broken, so that's why it's only €10.

I dunno, but for 10 euros? I would say go for it.

Well if the poster thinks the GPU is broken..

It is probably broken, but maybe you can get it stable again by underclocking it a bit. Or putting it in the oven to resolder it.

10 euro is only a little money. If you have time to try to fix it, and you are not disappointed if you can't get it running: Buy it!

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

Ok, I'm going for it. I can miss €10, and if I get it working I would be really happy! I now play on a crappy Intel HD 4000 :l

 

 

I sent an e-mail, I bid €7,50. Always try less first ;D
