How to know if a card was used for mining
Hello!
Is there any way to see if a card was used for mining? I'm buying a card for -100€ on amazon (used, very good state), but I can't talk to them to have more infos.
Thanks

Taking photos might be a good idea, it'll make cable management a lot easier if you haven't done it before.

What things do you recommend to do / not to do when installing the new PSU by the way? Is the cable management hard to do? My case right now has the cables all hidden but it wasn't me who did it. Should I take a photo of how things look and try to copy? How do I know which cable belongs where?

Unfortunately that is one of Corsair's lower tier units, and shouldn't be used with a GPU like the R9 290.
The EVGA PSU I linked earlier should do, the difference between semi-modular and fully modular is insignificant:

It's cheaper. Bronze and Gold only tell you how efficient the PSU is, not how good the quality is or how powerful it is.


Could you link me a modular one though? That one is semi modular, I don't really know what that is but I guess if I'm buying something new at least I want to get something good.
EDIT: Don't link me PSU, tell me the name, I'm buying it in europe
