Can I trust a slightly scratched pcb?

theDoItYourselfAmeture · Feb 15, 2014

I know a guy willing to sell me a gtx 680 for $100 but the upper right corner where the 2 6pin connectors plug in, looks like the corner of the pcb was sanded very slightly and the edges are rounded slightly and its very minute. He says it works fine, and I wonder how long it will last and if there is any important circuitry in that far corner.

P.S. can I trust a 2x molex to 6pin if I get this card.

600w ciolmax PSU with 52amps on the 12v rails.

You can trust the molex.

As for the PCB ask to see it turned on to be sure, but as long as it didnt hit any circuits it should be fine.

What is a ciolmax PSU? Do you mean coolmax? If so, they aren't exactly the best power supply. It should still be able to power a 680, but...

Also, I would question why the guy is selling a GTX 680 for $100. That seems a little suspicious.

Coolmax, using my phone right now and misspelled, and he is selling it because its scratched like that and is upgrading to a 780ti

Hmmm. Like Gamer01 said, definitely check to see that the thing boots... and also ask him to run a graphics benchmark that stresses the card.
