I had 8 of these and had to RMA most of them due to attempts at repasting and also just GPU death in general; I have one 290X Tri-X Sapphire still holding strong with the middle fan broken (cheap Tri-X fans eventually melt the center pin) but yeah it's a loss-leader it basically voids the other 5 1070s on the same rig in terms of profitability.

JCE CNv8 you can get 900 on with 1120/1420
