GPU has been tested and passes stress tests and generally works as expected when auxiliary cooling is provided to compensate for the cooler defect. Otherwise, this unit is likely overheat and/or crash unless the fan defect is corrected. We do not recommend using this item as-is without repairing/replacing the fans and/or cooler.
One or more fans is completely missing. This may affect the ability of the GPU to maintain typical operating temperatures, and may throttle under load.
One of the attachment points for the fan/shroud assembly is damaged, and therefore it is slightly loose. The heatsink itself remains securely attached. This is mostly a cosmetic issue since the majority of attachment points are secure, but cooling capacity may be slightly reduced from minor misalignment.

A 50% restocking fee will be applied if the item is physically damaged in ways not described, or if it matches the original description.
