No fair. You always include photo’s of the packaging so why can’t we see photo’s of the bubble wrap & sellotape? It’s probably more interesting that the card.
great review, thanks, really helpful
take it im the only person who has problems with the card over heating ever 30 seconds
Sounds like an issue with the card being faulty. Is the fan spinning, operating at PWM? Is the heatsink attached properly, enough thermal paste? Does the system shut down after it overheats – could be power leakage which means its shutting down to prevent damage (power leakage causes overheating and shutdown).
