Asus RX580 Dual Graphics Card (8GB) Refurbished Introduction
Storytime:
I upgraded to a used MSI GTX 1080 8GB on eBay which has ~2x the power of the RX 580. I play Starcraft 2 Arcade which puts hundreds of units on the map at once, unlike standard Starcraft 2 multiplayer. Now I no longer need this capable RX 580. Powered my dual 1080p Samsung monitors and main 4k Sony TV setup. Bought it from Canada Computers in Mississauga in 2017 December.
Usage History:
Used to play Starcraft 2 and League of Legends at +60 fps
Cryptomining, still performs like the first day I got it, fans going strong and gpu die is solid like a rock
Includes:
Original Retail Box with packing foam
Original antistatic bag
Original Asus PCI-E protector
Asus RX 580 8GB Graphics card (model: DUAL-RX580-O8G)
Personal Maintenance:
Regularly dedusted the graphics card annually since [first purchased from Canada Computers
Refurbishment completed in in August 2023:
I removed thermal pad and applied new Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste, temps at 50 C idle, silent fans!
I dismantled the heatsink assembly and removed all the dust from the fans and heatsink, pristine like new!!!
-I wish all used GPUs had this treatment, my used GTX 1080 had thermal pad glue all over the board and would crash/freeze since it overheated from dried out 7 year old thermal paste. Took 2 hours, several youtube disassembly videos, lots 99% isopropyl alcohol, and 40 Q-tips to fix it. You should replace thermal paste every 5 years.

500 watt Power Supply
Uses a single 8 pin connector to power the Graphics Card
Max TDP: 185 Watts
